                        <p>The following are the main components of the Adobe Device Central work
area:</p>

                        <dl><dt class="dlterm">Device Sets panel</dt>
<dd>
                                 
                                    Initially
displays a default set of generic devices named Example FL Phones.
In most cases, the devices available for testing depend on the content
type specified when you create or preview mobile content, or use
the emulator. If originating from Flash, an additional device set
appears that contains the devices specified when you create the
FLA file. (The new Flash-specific device set is named after the
FLA file.) To create custom device sets, drag icons (or copy and
paste) from the Available Devices list into the Device Sets panel.
Over time, you will probably create custom sets to test content
and projects. To share device sets among team members, import and
export sets.
                                 <p>When you create a mobile document for Flash using Adobe Device Central and select
one or more devices in the Available Devices list, a new device
set is created and listed in the Device Sets panel the next time
you test that file in the emulator. </p>

                                 <p>If you are working with
a device set and testing content, the individual device shown in
the Emulator tab is always listed in the Device Sets panel with
a special icon&#160;<img src="images/active_device.png" />.</p>

                              </dd><p class="dlseparator"></p><dt class="dlterm">Available Devices panel</dt>
<dd>
                                 
                                    Shows
all the mobile devices that are installed with Adobe Device Central.
You can think of the Available Devices panel as a repository of devices
that you can use to test content.
                                 <p>By default, the devices
in the Available Devices panel are grouped by manufacturer and sorted
by name. To group the devices using different criteria, click the Group
By pop‑up menu&#160;<img src="images/group_by.png" /> and
choose from the list. If you select None, all available devices
are shown as one list, sorted alphabetically by name.</p>

                                 <p>In each
group, devices are, by default, listed alphabetically by name and additional
columns provide information specific to each device. To see all
information, move the slider to the right until the Name, Display
Size, Flash Lite, and Color Depth columns appear.</p>

                                 <p>To sort
devices in a group, click a column header. For example, you can
group by manufacturer, and in the manufacturer groups you can click
a header, such as color depth, to have color depth sorting applied
in all the manufacturer groups.</p>

                              </dd><p class="dlseparator"></p><dt class="dlterm">Device Profiles tab</dt>
<dd>
                                 
                                    Shows
detailed information about devices. Different screens show general
information and specific details for Flash, bitmap, video, and web.
The Device Profiles tab can show one or multiple devices. (The same information
is displayed about a device whether you view the device individually or
as part of the multiple view.)
                                 <p>When one device is shown on
the tab, the first line of information across the top lists the
media types that the device supports, such as General, Flash, Bitmap, Video,
and Web. Click a media type to show a second line of information
that lists the content types supported (for instance, click on the
media type Bitmap and the content types Fullscreen, Screen Saver,
and Wallpaper might appear). The Generic mobile phones in the Available
Devices panel always show all of the media types in the Device Profiles
panel, but they support only the stand-alone Flash Player content
type.</p>

                                 <p>When you select multiple devices to view on the Device
Profiles tab, you can change the order in which the devices are
displayed by dragging devices to a new location on the tab. (You
can also drag any device from the Device Profiles tab into a set
in the Device Sets panel.)</p>

                              </dd><p class="dlseparator"></p><dt class="dlterm">New Document tab</dt>
<dd>
                                 
                                    Displays
the interface for creating a mobile document in Flash,
Adobe Photoshop®, or Adobe Illustrator®. This tab appears when you issue the command
to create a mobile document in one of the three applications listed.
For example, in Flash the command is Create New&#160;&gt; Flash
Mobile Document. (Alternatively, you can create a Flash file and
display the New Document tab from Adobe Device Central by
selecting File&#160;&gt; New Document In&#160;&gt; Flash.)
                                 <p>The
options that appear on the New Document tab depend on the type of document
you are creating. For example, when you create a new Flash document,
you select a Flash Player version, an ActionScript™ version,
and content type. </p>

                              </dd><p class="dlseparator"></p><dt class="dlterm">Emulator tab</dt>
<dd>
                                 
                                    Shows the testing
interface. The Emulator tab is designed to simulate how content
(for instance, Flash file, Photoshop image, video clip, and so on)
appears on a specific mobile device. The Emulator tab opens when
you are working in a component like Flash or Photoshop and issue
the command to export or test the file. For example, in Flash the
command is Control&#160;&gt; Test Movie. Only one device can
be emulated at a time. To select a different device, double-click
a device name in the Device Sets panel or the Available Devices
panel.

<dd>
                                 
                                    
                                    
                                    
                                    
                                    
                                    
                                    
                                    
                                    
                                    
                                    
                                    
                                    
                                    
                                    
                                    
                                    
                                    A number of collapsible panels for testing
and performance tuning appear on the right of the emulator window.
The panels that appear depend on what type of file you are testing:<ul><li>
