Video class

Flash Lite 2.x lets you work with device-specific video formats, and supports the following types of video playback:

Video embedded in a SWF file
Video available as a separate file on the device
Video streamed over the network (in real time)

Flash Lite 2.x supports device video. Device video is stored in the published SWF file in the device's native video format. To play the device video, Flash Lite passes the video data to the device, which then decodes and plays the video.

NOTE

Flash Lite 2.x ActionScript does not support the NetConnection or NetStream classes.
