In addition to supporting device sound, Flash Lite also supports standard, or native, Flash sounds. Essentially, a native sound is a sound in any format that the Flash authoring tool recognizes. Native sound in Flash Lite can play either as event sound or synchronized sound (see About device sound).

The general workflow for using native sounds in your Flash Lite applications is the same as for Flash desktop applications, with the following exceptions:

• Flash Lite does not support playing external MP3 files natively. However, if the device can play MP3 audio, you can load external MP3 files in your application. For more information, see Playing external device sounds.
• Flash Lite does not support the Speech audio compression option.

For more information about working with native sound in Flash, see the "Working with sound" topics in Using Flash.
