Depends! if you are using Flash Lite 4 specific features, it won't run on earlier devices. Not clear from your question, if you are concerned about specific APIs/features.
I would advise to compare Flashlit 4 API and previous versions: http://www.developer.nokia.com/info/sw.nokia.com/id/43ca0681-c8c6-4684-ad71-c4ac41f3ee4f/Flash_Lite_Developers_Library.html
Also check if the SDK supports full-backwards compatibility

Flash, especially FlashLite, is only supported on a very limited selection of devices. The very fact that Adobe does not make a big show of what devices actually support it should give you an indication of its adoption rate.
Apart from hardware capabilities, there are also limitations on a per device basis, based on carrier constraints (some devices which might technically support the FlashLite runtime may have its installation restricted by carriers who block user installation of apps).
