About the stand-alone Flash Lite player
The stand-alone Flash Lite 2.1 player lets you open SWF files from your device’s memory card. There are two ways you can open a SWF file in the stand-alone player:
• Launch the stand-alone player directly, then use the Open File menu command (Menu > Open File) to select the SWF you wish to view.
• Use File Manager to select the SWF you wish to view. The stand-alone player will automatically open and display the selected SWF.
To open a SWF from the stand-alone player:

1 To open the stand-alone player, start File Manager on your device (Start > File Manager), and navigate to the \Program Files\Adobe\FlashLite\ folder.

2 Select the file named saplaywm.exe to start the stand-alone player.

Note: The first time you launch the stand-alone player you will see an activation dialog. For information about activating your player, see “Installing and activating Flash Lite 2.1 for
Windows Mobile 5.0” in the previous section.

3 To open a SWF file from the stand-alone player, press the right soft key (Menu) and select Open File.

4 In the open file dialog, browse to the folder that contains your SWF file and select it to open it in the stand-alone player.

That's it for running a flash lite application on a device.
