FLASH® LITE™ 2.x - Adobe Help and Support

The Capabilities class determines the abilities of the system and player that host a SWF file,
which lets you tailor content for different formats. For example, the screen of a mobile device
is different from a computer screen. To provide appropriate content to as many users as
possible, you can use the System.capabilities object to determine the type of device a user
has. You can then either specify to the server to send different SWF files based on the device
capabilities or tell the SWF file to alter its presentation based on the capabilities of the device.
You can send capabilities information using a GET or POST HTTP method.
The following example shows a string for a mobile device:
■ that indicates a normal screen orientation
■ that is running an undetermined language
■ that is running the Symbian7.0sSeries60V2 operating system
■ that is configured so the user can't access hard disk, camera or microphone
■ that has the Flash Lite player as the official release version
■ for which the Flash Lite player does not support the development nor playback of screen
broadcast applications to be run through Flash Media Server
■ that does not support printing on the device
■ that the Flash Lite player is running on a mobile device that supports embedded video.
