Adobe releases new Flash, AIR BETAs

2jc67ip.jpg

Adobe Labs on Monday released test versions of two closely related foundations for Net-based applications, Flash Player 10.1 and AIR (Adobe Integrated Runtime) 2.

Flash is widely used to bring streaming video, interactive graphics, and games to browsers; AIR, with Flash built in, is a foundation for other desktop applications. Both are instrumental to Adobe's effort to stay ahead of the gradually broadening feature set of HTML and related Web standards.

Notable Flash Player 10.1 is support for not just Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux computers, but also a variety of smartphones, though that support isn't yet built in. What is available is hardware-based decoding of the popular H.264 video format, which Adobe said improves performance and saves battery life. It also supports HTTP streaming linked with Adobe's content protection technology.

A version of Flash Player 10.1 for Palm Pre smartphones is expected later this year, Adobe said, and the final version for all systems is due in the first half of 2010.

AIR 2.0, which includes Flash Player 10.1, brings tighter integration with desktop computers. For example, it can communicate with some USB storage devices, monitor multitouch user interfaces, tap into microphone audio data, render Web pages using HTML5 and CSS version 3, and use UDP networking useful for in-game chat.

The final version of AIR 2 also is due in the first half of 2010, Adobe has said.

I don't know what the hell is wrong with Adobe? Latest version has high CPU usage bug, and they will release new version in first half of 2010? I have one laptop which is single core and flash content is killing it with high CPU usage. My 2core desktop PC can handle it, but laptop can't. I say, really unprofessional from them.

CHeers ;)

You could have something wrong too.. my tiny lil system handles it quite well.. from what I can tell..

You have to watch the person who wrote all the script too.. could be old/bad stuff in the flash itself..

Now videos can get a little tough but its always that way..

Is he playing one at a time or are there other pages open with scripts and flash? That sometimes gets my CPU up and jumpy..You should try Better Privacy Plugin for FF.. it will remove all of the LSO's and let you monitor them.. they are probably coming in from the site.. or could be the games.. but I would try cleaning all of them out..you can do that manually too.. like after playing a few or whatever.. There could be a few things even AV updates that may slow it up some because of the CPU intensive nature of it sometimes..could just be the games themselves..
