New Features Summary
• SWF file metadata You can now add metadata to Flash files so that you can search more
effectively for these files using Internet search engines, such as Google.com.
• Flash Player Detection. Currently, Flash 8 uses JavaScript to detect the Flash player, and
to display some simple HTML content. You will notice that the Content and Alternate file
options have been eliminated from Flash 8.
For a more sophisticated experience you can download the Flash Detection Kit. This
contains three ways of detecting the Flash player:
• ActionScript Detection – ActionScript solution
• Client-Side Detection – JavaScript/VB Script solution that comes with Flash 8
• Express Detection – Installs the player directly from the Macromedia website
You can find the kit at:

• The Flash Lite emulator and test window let you test your content as it will run and appear
on an actual device. A settings pane in the Flash Lite test window lets you select a different
test device, view information about your application, and set emulator debug output options.
• The Property inspector contains a section that provides information about your current
device settings, as well as a button that lets you open the Device Settings dialog box. This
button is active only when your document's Version setting on the Flash tab of the Publish
Setting dialog box is set to Flash Lite 1.0 or Flash Lite 1.1.
