Emmy, you're such a tease!

We are a decent size widget company, using Flash. Our wishes for Flash API:

1) Make Actionscript aware of the URL of the page where the widget is embedded. Currently this is impossible.
I.E. if youtube widget is embedded into myspace.com/tom , make this 'myspace.com/tom' a read-only property in the movie.

2) Use the browser API to differentiate USER-Induced clicks to open pop-ups from flash, bypassing pop-up blockers. I.e. if a user clicks on a link in flash, open the pop-up bypassing pop-up blocker, but if the getURL() is called by the script automatically with no user click, pop-up blocker should be invoked.

3) This one is a long shot.
Add P2P capabilities, so we could have a mini-server in the flash listening for incoming TCP connections, much like your localConnection object. This would be very cool, but I do not count you'd make it in the foreseeable future.

Best regards,

Alec.

Hi emmy ..

is there any new news about support flash to RTL langunages ?

With a Solaris Flash Player in existence, is there any chance for a FreeBSD version in the future?

antialiasing and pixel manipulation would be first on my list for hardware support

when is a decision likely to be made on whether you're going to build a freebsd binary ?
it would be nice if you could tell us
"not this year" or even "never".
leaving us dangling like this with vague
statements like "not right now, but soon, maybe!"
or "we have no plans now but that may change"
doesn't really help at all.
after years of that, it would be nice to just know where we stand.

thanks

Glad to hear it! Flash 9 with the new VM has been amazing performance-wise. I'm definitely hoping to see more of that, especially looking towards 3d environment, and filter rendering = ]

Great!

Now what about a simultaneous 64-bit release and a decent linux version? :-)

Is there any new support forflash to RTL langunages?
Thanks

- true alpha-channels that work like masks, but instead allowing semi-transparence. These should work with vector-shapes and bitmaps as masking-source!
- advanced transformation-modes like Distort or Envelope that could be applied to Symbols and MovieClips (not only to Shapes)!
- What about runtime-created parametric textures / bitmaps who's parametes could be also animated? That would save bandwidth and would allow high quality texturing at once. I think since Flash can handle Pixel-Effects like Blur, Shadows etc, this should be possible, too! ;) Example could be bricks, water, plasma, grass, noise, rust, wood, marble. Perhaps those modifiers could be "stacked", like the current Pixel-Effects, so advanced combinations are possible.

Can we get an update for when a 64 bit version will be released? Running the 32 bit version using the plugin wrapper is very unstable.

Flash and Java are the only two products that don't work properly on my 64 bit Linux box... I have 3 64 bit linux boxes..

64 bit hardware has been out for many, many years, can we please get an update when Adobe is going to finish it's 64 bit port?

One thing that is missing from the flash player, that I feel is crucial (especially for embeddable/syndicatable widgets), is detecting settings that were set on the embed. For example, if fullscreen is available (I have to pass a flashvar :P). Or if I can successfully call getURL() (it just fails silently on myspace :P). And if javascript is available (ExternalInterface.available is wrong, I check with ExternalInterface.call("eval","1==1")).

I have a lot of hacky stuff for my AS2 projects, and it's unnecessarily consumed our resources and caused a lot of headaches. I haven't seen any fixes for AS3 mentioned, but hopefully there is an API in the new player for this...

Anyway, I'm a big fan of flash, but there's a lot of hype about new stuff when the fundamentals aren't addressed.

I hope will be really support for RTL language speacilly arabic language

SUPPORT FREEBSD PLEASE

is the next flashplayer the version 10? or start you with a new naming like "10 = X (roman version)"? or astro? but i think thats an internal thing.

Hi Emmy,
We are a company who develops online leadership and custom training and we use Flash heavily for our content. We are having a serious problem with the latest version of the Flash player: 9.0.115 in combination with IE7, which renders much of our content unusable. I have read all the documentation on policy files changes, as well as the known issues and workarounds. After implementing all the required changes, we still have this issue which i believe may be a bug. Here's the issue:
Our html is located in a different domain than our Flash media files. This is a requirement of our architecture because users may choose to host their own media, while accessing our application online. These Flash files use getURL() to call an ASP file (in the same domain as the html) in order to initialize some variables from a database. These getURL calls no longer work when the flash is in a different domain. This only happens with the latest flash player and IE7.

We have set the allowScriptAccess to "always" as per the following tech note:

http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=50c1cf38&sliceId=1

Also, i have set up a policy file where allow-access-from domain="*"

The file structure looks something like this:

appdomain/loadswf.html
appdomain/initdata.asp
appdomain/crossdomain.xml

mediadomain/media.swf

Any help is appreciated! Thanks!
