Get your Intel Mac public beta of Flash Player 9 today!

The public beta site is up for the beta version of Flash Player 9 (9.0.18.0) for Intel-based Macintosh. It is a universal binary installer.

Thanks to engineering and QE for cranking this one out so quickly after our launch!

Enjoy, log bugs.

This is great news! I know it's not your department, but any idea on whether there's a plan to release Flex Builder 2 for Macintosh? Good to know about the player though, I was getting scared that you guys forgot about us Mac users.

Thanks Emma! This is great news!

Chris, the Flex Builder team does have a Mac version in the works. I'm also looking forward to it! In the meantime, the SDK is already Mac-compatible, so you can edit Flex projects with the IDE of your choice, then compile them on your Mac. Google can help you get started on that, if you're interested.

I have the latest public beta of the flash player on my MacBook Pro. I also have the flip4mac plug-in installed. I have a weird inconsistency. In Safari, I cannot play news clips from Yahoo/Reuters (I believe that these are ABC clips), but the Flash/Flip4Mac combo works for these same vids in Firefox.

Great news about the Intel Mac beta. Is there a way to get on a beta list for early releases? I work on Songbird and am _very_ interested in getting my hands on the Linux v9 beta.

Cheers,

Hi Emmy,

Sorry, i know, i`m here wrong. But i dont get an answer from Adove directly. We want to integration Flash in our own programm based on C++/Trolltech Qt.

On Windows we can use ActiveX to do that, but how we can integrate a flash programm in mac applications ? Any hints ?

best regards

Frank

Hi Emmy,
Thank you very much. I owe you an aploogy for my previous post. I was one of the linux users who spewed hate at adobe when flash 8 wasn't released for linux. Today I am a grateful linux user who enjoys adobe's flash 9 very much. So far I haven't had a single issue. It works great. Thanks.
