This document discusses creating multi-screen applications using the Adobe Flash Platform. It outlines some of the challenges in developing for different screen sizes, operating systems, and capabilities. The Adobe Flash Platform provides tools like Flash Professional and Flash Builder to help developers create a single code base that can be used across different screens through flexible design and intelligent coding practices. Best practices are suggested like separating core logic, interface logic, and UI elements into different classes and libraries to manage multi-screen applications.
