Windows XP Service Pack 2
Many of us are already well aware that Service Pack 2 is slowly working its way on to the desktops of computers around the world, but for those not yet aware, or those wanting to read more detailed information here's a handy link:
Changes to Functionality in Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2
The document above is some good documentation about the changes made to the Windows XP operating system, but of course it doesn't discuss how the multimedia developer is going to be impacted. Macromedia has definitely taken steps to informing our developers as to what steps, if any, they will need to take and how their content will be affected. I highly recommend that everyone read the following DevNet article written by Waleed Anbar, the Flash Player Product Manager:
Upcoming Changes in Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2
In the above article Waleed walks folks through the changes in the operating system and describes how that will impact your content and development processes. In the above article Waleed provides links to a range of information that will prove useful in understanding things a bit more. Please also stay tuned to the affected product/player Support Centers on macromedia.com as over time they will also be updated with a number of tech notes containing information pertinent to each individual player.
Authorware Support Center
Flash Player Support Center
Director Support Center
I hope that helps, enjoy!
