In case you've missed the news yesterday/today, Adobe has released a new version of Flash Player for Win/Mac/Linus.

Check out Emmy Huang's blog, Justin Everett-Church's blog and Tinic Uro's blog for more details, as well as the official Press Release.

Also, don't forget about the Flash Player Developer Center, and I'm told that you can find an updated version of the ActionScript 3.0 Language Reference at http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/.

Whew!

Posted by Peter deHaan at 10:22 AM | Permalink | Comments (2)

I just saw this over on the Adobe Labs blog, Flash Player 9 Update Release Candidate for Mac Refresh Now Available.

If you are running a previous version of Flash Player on the Macintosh, I recommend downloading the latest version of Flash Player (9.0.98.0) from Adobe Labs. If you haven't tried the latest beta of Flash Player on Windows, Macintosh, or Linux, head on over to Labs and take a look. The latest version of Flash Player, codenamed "Moviestar", includes a lot of great things, including this snippet which I'll copy-paste to save typing:

Support for H.264 video and HE-AAC audio codecs. Multi-core support for vector rendering. Full screen mode with hardware scaling. Flash Player cache for common platform components, such as the Flex framework. Support for Microsoft Active Accessibility (MSAA) in the Windows plug-in.

Adobe Labs - Flash Player 9 Update

You can also find more information on the latest Macintosh update over on Emmy Huang's site, "Mac update for Moviestar on Adobe Labs to fix FileReference issue".
