Updated versions of the content debugger players are posted on the page. Features in Adobe Flash Player 9, Version 9.0.16.0 Flash Player 9 builds on the advances in Flash Player 8 by focusing on three main areas: creating a more robust programming model, achieving standards compliance, and delivering ground-breaking performance. This release of Flash Player includes: • ActionScript 3.0, a significant update to the scripting language of the runtime that provides a familiar syntax and compelling new language features. ActionScript3.0 delivers up to 10 times faster performance, faster application start-up times and a reduced memory footprint.
Everytime I try I get the saying change default applications and i try to change the applications but it doesn't work. What kind of default setting should adobe flash player be under? When I try to download the flash player on the adobe website, I can't get any download button to come up after after I choose the type of computer.
• New Flash Player APIs, such as those for the display list, enable greater creative control over content and applications. The features available in Flash Player 9 are described in the Flex Builder 2 help. ActionScript 3.0 resources and documentation are also available in the. Features that developers should be aware of include: • • ActionScript 3.0 ActionScript is the powerful object-oriented programming language of the Flash Player runtime environment. ActionScript 3.0 advances the language to offer developers a robust programming model for rich internet applications. ActionScript 3.0 is compliant with the ECMAScript Edition 3 (ECMA-262) standard and is based on the ECMAScript Edition 4 (ES4) draft language specification. For a complete listing of APIs, see the.
Some highlights of the ActionScript 3.0 language include: • ECMAScript for XML (E4X) E4X enables easy manipulation of XML documents using a familiar syntax. Utilize new E4X classes XML, XMLList, QName, and Namespace to develop code to traverse, filter, and manipulate XML data more quickly and easily than was possible with previous programming techniques. • Regular Expressions ActionScript 3.0 implements regular expressions, as defined in the ECMAScript Edition 3 language specification (ECMA-262). Native support for regular expressions saves coding time for string search and manipulation procedures. • DOM Events APIs Based on the industry-standard Document Object Model (DOM) Level 3 Events Model, ActionScript 3.0 introduces better control over event handling through standardized APIs. • Display List APIs Directly create, manipulate, and control objects on the Flash Player display list for complex application creation and control.
New classes include Sprite, a lightweight building block, and Shape, for raw vector shapes. Depth management is automatic and handled by Flash Player 9, with new methods for specifying and managing the z-order of objects. • New Sound APIs The new sound APIs provide greater control over imported and embedded sounds; for example, the new SoundMixer.computeSpectrum() method provides the ability to get information about sounds currently playing in Flash Player. • Binary Data and Sockets Enables interoperability with existing custom protocols, and increases data transfer performance with a more compact representation of data versus XML.
• Runtime Exceptions & Error handling ActionScript 3.0 introduces runtime exceptions for common error conditions, improving the debugging experience and enabling development of more secure, robust applications. Performance: • Faster ActionScript Performance Flash Player 9 delivers up to 10x performance improvement for ActionScript 3.0 execution. • Reduced Memory Footprint ActionScript 3.0 applications use less memory than equivalent ActionScript 2.0 applications. Fixes in Flash Player 9.0.16.0 • BitmapData and Video objects cannot be printed in vector mode. (136539) • Firefox browser will crash using the External API if JavaScript calls an ActionScript function in the onUnload handler, followed by the ActionScript function then calling another ActionScript function.
