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-T (a mobile profile of W3C's Scalable Vector Graphics recommendation). The advantage over SVG-T is the ability to add audio and interactive elements without the use of other technologies such as Javascript.

History

From over 150 applications were submitted, nine winners were selected in areas of Best Business and Productivity Application, Most Innovative use of Flash Lite, Best Animation, Best Business Application, Best Educational Content, Best Game, Best Interactive Content, Best Productivity Application, and Best Overall Use of Flash Lite.
Macromedia has released the FlashLite profile for used for developing on mobile phones.
FlashLite has seen explosive adoption by Japanese consumers and developers alike, and now it is quickly gaining adoption from operators and manufacturers outside of Japan.
MacromediaFlashLite 1.1 is targeted towards developers to enable them to jump their development for FlashLite content for the mobile platform.
Flash can retain information locally (in a manner similar to, but more extensive than, browser cookies), giving the client the ability to, for example, remember the level or score a user has achieved on a Flash-based game, or the settings used on a previously visited website.
Since Flash files do not depend on a truly open standard such as SVG, this reduces the incentive for non-commercial software to support the format, although there are several third party tools which utilize and generate the SWF file format and a large and vibrant open source community.
Macromedia has made the Flash Files specifications for versions 6 and later available only as a PDF under a non-disclosure agreement, but is widely available from various sites.
