Using the mobile device templates
Flash content is viewable across multiple browsers, platforms, and mobile phones. You can author
the following:
•
High-quality animations
•
Games
•
Rich-media custom user interfaces for devices and desktop systems
•
Immersive e-commerce and business solutions
Flash files are compact, which makes them perfect for wireless carrier networks, where transfer
rates range between 9.6 and 60 kilobytes per second (Kbps). Mobile devices, unlike desktop
computers, have limited storage capability, so the small footprint of Flash is ideal.
The mobile device templates let you create content for many mobile devices. Use the device skins
in the templates to preview your content as it will look on the device.
Note: The skins are on guide layers and won't export with your content or appear at runtime.
For more information on authoring Flash files for mobile devices, see the Macromedia Mobile
Devices site at www.macromedia.com/devnet/devices/.
Using quiz templates
You can use the quiz templates to create self-scoring quizzes with several interaction types. For
