Public Alphas are out and Labs Revealed

October 17, 2005 burakk

Flex 2 and Flash Player 8.5 public alphas are out as expected. I’m yet to try them but I’m already impressed with the Macromedia Labs (where the alphas are) and the WIKI. Great job. With this much commitment to developers, they can’t fail.

So AS3 is here, lets see what it’s all about and everyone now has a chance to tell Macromedia if something’s not right in this early stage of development.

    Hi Burak,
    It seems they’ve introduced a completely new set of action codes for AVM2 in the SWF format. In fact, the action codes seem to be stored in new “SWF tags” with IDs of 82 and 76 (decimal).
    Do you have an estimate of when a new version of ASV would supporting parsing these? (I know it’s a major undertaking…)
    Your Customer,

    Hi,
    Yes, AS3 is a complete fresh start, and I think that’s good.
    Well, we haven’t yet released ASV 5 (need just a few more days) and it’s hard for me to estimate AS3 support.
    All I can say is that we will be working on it. And we are seriously considering making our alphas available to our customers just like Macromedia.
    Thank you.
    Best regards,
    Burak
