Adobe Flash Lite is a lightweight version of Adobe Flash Player optimized for mobile phones and other devices. Flash Lite 1.1 supports Flash 4 ActionScript. Flash Lite 2.0, based on Flash Player 7, supports Flash 7's more powerful ActionScript 2.0. Both versions also support the W3C Standard SVG Tiny[1] (a mobile profile of W3C's Scalable Vector Graphics recommendation).

Among the disadvantages it can be mentioned that Flash Lite applications are not capable of communicating with Bluetooth, infrared, or the camera on a phone.
