Through code examples and use cases, this document outlines best practices for developers deploying applications on mobile devices. It covers general concerns, such as memory and CPU usage, then addresses ActionScript optimizations specific to mobile devices. This document focuses on best practices for applications running inside a mobile browser, but these best practices also apply to Adobe® AIR® applications. In addition, they apply to applications created using the Packager for iPhone in Adobe® Flash® Professional CS5.
