I started working at Adobe just before Flash Player 9 was released and it has been a real workhorse changing an entire industry. FP9 enabled Flex 2, introduced ActionScript 3, new API's, a radically new event model, and jittification( if there is such a thing). Flash Player 9 you had a great run but like all good things they must end. I wish you a fond farewell, you were a great player but we need something new.Introducing Flash Player 10!
Simply put FP10 is the most powerful player ever created. It sports a new graphics engine for custom filters, a new Vector Class, a new text engine(RTL anyone), perspective transform, dynamic sound generation, local file access, Speex audio codec, hardware acceleration, a better garbage collector and unloading Loader classes (ahhhh...), and a new vector drawing API enabling FXG. Features here. It is easily the best player release in a very long time and the engineering teams have been working round the clock. Simply put this release rocks. The 10th version of the most widely installed software in the history of software.
Go Flash Platform, Go Flash Player 10.
Flash Player 9 we hardly knew ya.
Cheers,
Ted :)
