nsane.forums Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 New versions of Adobe Flash Player and AIR will be arriving by October, Adobe announced in a press release today. Flash Player 11 and AIR 3 are intended to provide “console-like quality” to game developers on PC platforms and improve performance on Android phones, and will be accompanied by support in the Flash Builder and Flex development tools by the end of the year. The new versions of Flash and AIR will have hardware-accelerated rendering for 2D and 3D graphics up to 1,000 times faster than Flash Player 10 and AIR 2, Adobe said in a press release. The package will include the ability to display 1080p video with Flash-based apps on iOS devices with H.264 hardware decoding, as well as APIs for using accelerometers and near-field communications chips. Captive runtime will also be a new feature, and users will no longer need to have pop-ups pestering them to update their players yet again. Adobe is working with Microsoft in hopes that Flash can eventually appear on the Windows Phone platform, though no date is set; likewise, the company is also trying to improve Flash in capable Android phones. We’re not so sure about the renewed commitment to “console-like quality”—PC games are good in their own right. Still, the renewed commitment to mobile platforms is promising, and yet another indicator that the company is determined not to let any of the mobile platforms slip by.

Administrator DKT27 Posted September 21, 2011 Administrator Share Posted September 21, 2011 Adobe's long running Flash Player, used in so many web applications and games, is getting a new version next month. Adobe's web site has announced that Flash Player 11, along with Adobe AIR 3, will launch in early October. The company has some big claims for these new versions, saying that it will use a new hardware accelerated graphics architecture called Stage 3D (also known by its code name Molehill). Adobe says that it will enable Flash-based games to have performance that will be 1,000 times faster than games running under Flash 10. Games that use Flash Player 11 and AIR 3 are expected to launch later this year and early 2012. You can check out a demo of one of those games in the video below. In addition to hardware graphics acceleration support, Adobe claims Stage 3D will also have faster software rendering features that will provide better performance for games even on a 10 year old PC running on Windows XP. Flash Player 11 will also have full 64-bit web browser support for Windows, Linux, and Mac operating systems. As far as AIR 3, Adobe claims it will let developers create programs that can be installed with seamless one-click programs with Android, iOS, Windows, and Mac operating system. Adobe is trying to make its new Flash Player more attractive to developers. This new version comes as Microsoft has announced that the upcoming Internet Explorer 10 web browser would not use plug-in programs, including Flash. for the Windows 8 Metro version. Adobe quickly said that Flash will work with Windows 8 when Microsoft's next operating system is released. View: Original Article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
