ADL Emulation OS and Resize Question

i starting familiarize myself adobe air development mobile game development. attempting setup necessary "scaffolding" multi-device development. have run few issues i'm curious about, feedback appreciated.

 

given following minimal example:

 

executed in adl (directory structures removed) like:

 

adl.exe -profile extendedmobiledevice -screensize iphone -xscreendpi 163 -xversionplatform ios adltest-app.xml adltest

 

question 1. there way determine device emulator emulating?

 

i developing on windows 8, result of capabilities properties native, e.g. capabilities.os == "windows 8" though emulating ios/iphone. affects properties screenresolutionx. therefore emulator, isn't emulating these properties, making difficult develop , test target platforms.

 

question 2. why resize event gets triggered twice?

 

[trace] resize [event type="resize" bubbles=false cancelable=false eventphase=2]

[trace] resize [event type="resize" bubbles=false cancelable=false eventphase=2]

 

the simple starling scaffolding testing appears trigger 2 resize events when using emulator. have not tested on actual hardware yet. issue emulator? why makes sense trigger resize twice ever? (the example above triggers 2 immediately, reason doesn't trigger resize events when changing orientation, in starling app-- have no idea why.)

ideally setup run/debug targets different types of targets (swf, desktop-air, iphone4, iphone5s, samsung s4, nexus 10, etc.) , environment should behave same if running on hardware (logically, not necessarilly performance standpoint).
