1. Your skills will be in high demand This, in my opinion, is the main reason anyone who currently works or is planning to work as a Flash developer should switch to the new language. All major Flash work is now exclusively being built in ActionScript 3.0. You just don't see many jobs looking for ActionScript 2.0 skills. So if you plan on working with Flash in your job, learning ActionScript 3.0 is essential. 2. Everything you build will be faster Developers who have been working with Flash for a while have often been frustrated that our new, super-cool idea just couldn't run smoothly because of the limitations of Flash Player. ActionScript 3.0 offers up to a 10-fold increase in performance over previous versions of the language. In some cases, the performance has increased even more. This means you can control more objects on the Stage at the same time. If you want your project to look and perform at its best, moving to ActionScript 3.0 is the ultimate way to achieve thi

Welcome to the prerelease of the Adobe® ActionScript® Code Coverage Plug-in for Adobe Flash® Builder™, a tool that helps ActionScript and Adobe Flex® developers understand exactly what code is executed while an application is running. When added to Flash Builder, the plug-in provides a new Eclipse perspective that allows you to start/stop the code coverage tool, view generated reports, examine source code and save/load reports. Typically developers will use the code coverage tool to see which areas of code have not been exercised during execution so that additional testing requirements can be identified. The tool provides detailed line coverage and method coverage reporting, as well as highlighting classes that are not linked into the application. You can use the ActionScript Code Coverage Plug-in for Flash Builder with applications developed in ActionScript 3, optionally using either Flex SDK 3.x or Flex SDK 4.x, targeting both Adobe Flash Player and Adobe AIR®. A trial or license

Recently there has been a surge in discussion about Adobe® Flash® technology, and within that discussion, a fair amount of incorrect information has been communicated. Adobe would like to clear up some of those mis perceptions. Touch The Adobe Flash Player runtime was actually originally created as a technology for tablets with touch interfaces, and today, it has support for working on touch-based devices. For existing content developed with mouse input in mind, Flash Player will automatically convert the touch events to mouse events when running on a touch device. This allows content designed for the desktop to work seamlessly on touch-based devices using Flash Player. For new content developed specifically with touch in mind, Flash Player 10.1 will provide a complete set of multi touch and gesture APIs. Video Seventy-five percent of all video on the web is viewed via Flash Player, including videos encoded in the most popular codecs such as H.264 and VP6. There are many

Some interesting facts and figures of Adobe, which show the extent to which Adobe technology has been adopted and are useful reference points for customers to understand. Technology Adoption: 98% of internet enabled desktops run Flash  70% of web games are built using Flash  95% of internet enabled desktops run Flash Player 10  75% of all video on the web is Flash  Over 30 million AIR downloads and growing  Adobe enterprise solutions are in use at: All 10 of the world’s largest publically traded companies  8 of the 10 global bank holding companies  More than half of teh top global insurance companies  9 of the top 10 global manufacturing companies  19 of the top 20 pharmaceutical companies globally  7 of the world’s leading national governments  To put this into perspective for education and students; Adobe technology has such broad adoption that use of these technologies to support teaching and learning is a vital skill for the future world of work.

Adobe® Flash® Player "Square" is a preview release that enables native 64-bit support on Linux, Mac OS, and Windows operating systems, as well as enhanced support for Microsoft Internet Explorer 9 beta. Adobe have made this preview available so that users can test existing content and new platforms for compatibility and stability. Because this is a preview version of Flash Player, we don't expect it to be as stable as a final release version of Flash Player. Use caution when installing Flash Player "Square" on production machines. The key new capabilities in the Flash Player "Square" preview are:   64-bit support  — Native support for 64-bit operating systems and 64-bit web browsers on Linux, Mac OS, and Windows. Internet Explorer 9 hardware accelerated rendering support  — Enhanced support for Internet Explorer 9 Beta. It takes advantage of hardware accelerated graphics in Internet Explorer 9 Beta, utilizing hardware rendering surfaces to i

Desktop Integration Features Native p rocess API Create native installers allowing you to launch and communicate with native processes using standard input and output. Using the native process API, communicate with native libraries built using Java™ and .NET and native applications such as "grep" for file searching. You can also create operating system–specific installers (native installers). Applications that use the native process API must be deployed using a native installer. Native document handlers to open documents Open documents in popular file formats like PDF, PSD, DOC, PPT, and MP3 using the native application associated with that file. For example, opening an MP3 file will launch iTunes on systems where iTunes is the default application for MP3 files.
