■ Flash Player 7 supports many video formats in addition to FLV. Flash Lite 2.0 supports<br />

video playback in the following cases: video embedded in a SWF file; video that resides in<br />

a separate file on the host device; <strong>and</strong> video data that is streamed in over the network (in<br />

real time). The player for Flash Lite 2.0 supports only those video formats that a specific<br />

mobile device supports, while the player for Flash Lite 3.0 supports the rendering of FLV<br />

natively.<br />

■ Flash Player 7 lets you bundle the data in a SWF file or stream it by using the Video object<br />

<strong>and</strong> assigning either a NetStream object or Camera object as the source of the video<br />

information. However, the player for Flash Lite 2.0 does not support the NetStream <strong>and</strong><br />

Camera objects. Instead, Flash Lite 2.0 uses a new library symbol type called Video to<br />

embed source video data <strong>and</strong> to stream video for mobile devices. Because Flash Lite 2.0<br />

does not support the NetStream object, you use the methods <strong>and</strong> properties of the Video<br />

class to control the video playback. The player for Flash Lite 3.0 does support the<br />

NetStream <strong>and</strong> NetConnection objects, <strong>and</strong> you use the methods <strong>and</strong> properties of these<br />

classes to control FLV playback. Flash Lite 3.0 also supports a new property in the Video<br />

class, attachVideo, that specifies a video stream to be displayed within the Video object on<br />

the Stage. Flash Lite 3.0 does not support the Camera object.<br />

Because of the requirements of mobile devices (smaller processor speeds, memory restrictions,<br />

<strong>and</strong> proprietary encoding formats), Flash Lite 2.0 cannot render the video information<br />

directly. The supported file formats for video depend on the mobile device manufacturer. For<br />

more information about supported video formats, check the hardware platforms on which<br />

you plan to deploy your application. In contrast, Flash Lite 3.0 does render Flash video<br />

directly.<br />

Flash Lite 2.0 does not support the following Flash Player 7 features:<br />

■ Streaming of video data from a Flash Media Server<br />

■ Recording video<br />

Flash Lite 3.0 adds support the following Flash Player 7 features:<br />

■ Flash video rendered directly by the player using versions of the On2 <strong>and</strong> Sorenson codecs<br />

optimized for mobile devices<br />

■ Streaming of video data over an RTMP connection to a Flash Media Server (RTMPT <strong>and</strong><br />

RTMPS connections are not supported, nor are multiple connections)<br />

Flash Lite 3.0 does not support the following Flash Player 7 features:<br />

■ Recording video<br />
