Flash Player Beta Channel Update

Note: We need Mac Plug-in users on the Beta channel.  Mac plug-in usage has not reached the critical mass necessary to detect significant issues in aggregate crash-reporting data.  Please help us out, and recruit your friends on Mac!

The weekly Flash Player Beta update is now available for direct download and automatic installation via Background Update.

The latest version of Flash Player Beta is available here: http://www.adobe.com/go/flashplayerbeta

Notable Fixes and Enhancements:

Flash Player Beta Channel Update

Flash Player 11.8 builds are now available.  You can download Flash Player here: http://www.adobe.com/go/flashplayerbeta.

New Features

• Recursive stop on MovieCli
  This feature allows a game developer to effectively pause/stop a running SWF without having to iterate through all of the objects on the DisplayList. A new method called stopAllChildren is added to the DisplayObjectContainer ActionScript class to provide a mechanism by which developers can stop the timeline animations of all MovieClip objects that are children of the corresponding DisplayObjectContainer.

• Support for 4096 x 4096 2D textures via the BASELINE_EXTENDED profile
  The maximum 2D texture size available has been increased to be 4096 x 4096 for Stage3D applications that obtain a Context3D using the Context3DProfile.BASELINE_EXTENDED profile.  Only hardware environments that support a maximum texture size of at least 4096 x 4096 will support the BASELINE_EXTENDED profile so applications need to be prepared to fallback to using the BASELINE profile if the request fails.
  
  
• RectangleTexture class added to the BASELINE profile
  A new RectangleTexture class has been added to support non-power-of-two textures.  These do not support compressed textures, mipmapping, or the repeat wrap mode, but may be useful for reducing memory consumption in situations where mipmaps are unnecessary, for render to texture, and supporting 1:1 backbuffer-sized blits, as they are allowed to be at least as large as the backbuffer.  A RectangleTexture is created using the Context3D.createRectangleTexture method.

Notable Fixes and Enhancements:

• Multiple stability and security enhancements

Flash Player Beta Channel Update

The latest Flash Player 12.0 builds are now available.  You can download Flash Player here: http://www.adobe.com/go/flashplayerbeta.

With this release, we are introducing a new numbering scheme for our product versions.  Adopting the pattern set by Google with Chrome and Mozilla with Firefox, we will simply update the major version number with each subsequent release.  In other words, beginning with the release of "Jones", Flash Player will become Flash Player 12.  With each new major release, roughly every 3 months, that number will increase by one.

New Features:

• Mac .pkg Installation Support – Deploying Flash Player and keeping it up to date is a critical task for system administrators worldwide.  In Flash Player 11.9 we added .pkg support for ease of deployment.  In Flash Player 12, we've incorporated feedback from system administrators to improve the workflow and UI.
• Internet Explorer 11 on Windows 7 Support - Microsoft has released IE 11 on Windows 7 and we plan to officially support this in Flash Player 12
• Safe Mode in Safari 6.1 and higher - Safari 6.1 includes an updated version of Safari with Safe Mode, which implements new security restrictions on the operation of browser plug-ins.  To the extent possible, we've adapted Flash Player to transparently handle these changes.  A small number of behaviors will change in the context of Safe Mode and are explained in the Known Issues section below.
• 64-Bit PPAPI Flash Player for Chrome - We'd like to encourage those interested in 64-bit Flash Player for Chrome to please download the latest build available in the Chrome Canary Channel.
• Graphics: Buffer Usage flag for Stage3D - We've added a new enum Class called Context3DBufferUsage which defines two constants, STATIC_DRAW (default) and DYNAMIC_DRAW.  These constants specify how buffers will be used in Stage3D. We've also added a new parameter, called "bufferUsage", to the constructors of VertexBuffer and IndexBuffer. This "bufferUsage" parameter uses one of the constants form Context3DBufferUsage, which will allow you to select the appropriate buffer type according to your needs.
• Supplementary Characters Enhancement Support for TextField – EXTENDED BETA– This is a desktop enhancement for supporting surrogate pairs in the TextField control.  Now, characters out of the Basic Multilingual Plane(BMP) with Unicode code points between U+10000 and U+10FFFF will work correctly in the TextField control.  It greatly enlarges the code point range we support and includes characters like emotion symbols (emoticons) and complex CCJK characters.  This feature is being introduced in the Flash Player 12 beta but will go live in a subsequent release.  Due to the sensitive nature of text display, we would like an extended test period to ensure no bugs are introduced.
• Stage3D Creation of Context3D with Profile Array - We've added a new interface to Stage3D.requestContext3DMatchingProfiles(profiles:Vector.<String> ) which will create a Context3D with highest level suitable profile that is in profile array,  based on the current hardware.  A developer can check the newly added property 'profile' to obtain the current profile that was chosen by the Flash Runtime.

Testing Guidance:  With our current and upcoming Flash Player betas, we recommend people pay particular attention to text content displayed via TextField controls.  Changes made for supplementary character enhancement might impact text generally and we'd like to make sure that all cases are covered.

Known Issues:

• [Mac] PKG Installer - The current Flash Player on OS X must be uninstalled before testing this build.  This is resolved in 12.0.0.7 and higher. [3662210]
• [Adobe Access] When playing a .video with no audio, video is not displayed. [3652203]

Fixed Issues:

• Multiple stability and security enhancements

Adobe AIR Beta Channel Update

This beta release provides access to the latest AIR runtime and SDK (with compiler) for Windows, Mac OS, iOS and Android.

With this release we've synchronized the AIR version number with Flash Player at version 13.

Below are some of the key features and benefits of AIR 13.0.  Please see our release notes for full details.

New Features:

• Supplementary Characters Enhancement Support for TextField

Characters from the Basic Multilingual Plane (BMP) with Unicode code points between U+10000 and U+10FFFF nowl work correctly in TextField controls.  This change greatly enlarges the code point range we support, and now includes characters like emoticons and complex CCJK characters.

• New Stage3D texture wrapping modes

Developers can currently set the wrapping mode of a texture to either clamp or repeat.  Using the repeat option will repeat the texture on both the U and V axis.  However, in some use cases, you may only want to repeat the texture on either the u or v axis.  

This is now possible with the introduction of two new parameters:

REPEAT_U_CLAMP_V and CLAMP_U_REPEAT_V

• Stage3D Anti-Aliasing for Render texture

Anti-Aliasing is a useful technology to improve image quality.  We've now implemented hardware based Multisampling Anti-Aliasing (MSAA) on desktop platforms.  To enable this please set the level from 0 to 4  in Context3D's setRenderToTexture().

0 = 1 subsample, no antialiasing

1 = 2 subsamples, minimal antialiasing

2 = 4 subsamples, medium  high-quality antialiasing

3 = 8 subsamples,  high-quality antialiasing

4 = 16 subsamples, very high-quality antialiasing

Fixed Issues:

• 3681900 Deprecated API usage for QuickTime in AIR runtime
• Multiple stability fixes

Today we're pleased to announce that the next version of Flash Player, 11.2.202.228, is available for immediate download.  This update includes the following new features:

• Drivers gating for hardware acceleration relaxed— Previously, the hardware accelerated content was gated to 1/1/2009, however, we have relaxed the driver gating to 1/1/2008.
• Throttling event— This release introduces a new ThrottleEvent. A ThrottleEvent is now dispatched by the stage when the Flash Player throttles, pauses or resumes content.
• Mouse lock, relative mouse coordinates, right and middle click events— Create immersive, panoramic games with infinite scrolling to enable new classes of content, including first-person games.
• Multithreaded video decoding (Windows, Mac OS, and Linux) — The video decoding pipeline is now fully multithreaded. This feature should improve the overall performance on all platforms. Note that this feature is a significant architecture change required for other future improvements.
• Flash Player background updates (Windows) — New versions of the runtimes can now be delivered more effectively to the end user with this enhanced updating mechanism (Background update is only available in the release versions of Flash Player).

In addition, please see this video that describes these new features in greater detail: Introducing Flash Player 11.2

Flash Player 11.2 desktop for Windows, Macintosh and Linux:11.2.202.228

Today we're pleased to announce that the next version of Flash Player, 11.3.300.257, is available for immediate download.  This update includes the following new features:

• Full screen keyboard input— This feature enables support for all keyboard keys available to an embedded SWF running inside of a page without full screen mode (except for  ‘Esc’). It allows developers to determine if the app is in full screen, whether full keyboard input is allowed, and whether the app is able to request full screen (determined by the embed tag parameter).
• Low latency audio support for streaming audio through NetStream— This feature aims to reduce latency for high quality streaming audio playback. It addresses a very special use case of cloud gaming, where the game is rendered at a server and audio and video are streamed to the client.
• Protected Mode for Firefox— Flash Player Protected Mode is a new security enhancement designed to limit the impact of attacks launched from malicious SWF files against Adobe Flash Player when running in Firefox 4.0+ on Windows Vista and higher. This feature is comparable to the Flash Player Protected Mode in Google Chrome browser, Protected Mode in Adobe Reader, and Office 2010 Protected View.
• Flash Player background updates (Mac)— New versions of the runtimes can now be delivered more effectively to the end user with this enhanced updating mechanism (Background update is only available in the release versions of Flash Player).
• Low latency audio support (Sound API)— This enhancement reduces the latency for Sound.play method and changes to volume and pan on SoundTransform. The latency of SAMPLE_DATA event should also be reduced considerably.
• Texture Streaming for Stage3D— Provides an ability to upload coarser, lower quality textures on the GPU first and then progressively improve them as more data becomes available.

Today, the AIR 3.5 Runtimes and SDK's were updated to address stability and performance issues, in particular the following problems have been addressed:

• Video playback broken on Digital Theater AIR app (3364478)
• Wrong layering/depth of video component after re-activating app on Nexus 7 (3356240)
• Mac AIR not enforcing output protection when switching/dragging from internal to external monitor (3366931)

New Feature: 

We have added a new Android-specific xml element <containsVideo> in the application.xml. If an app uses Video, then the app is expected to add <containsVideo>true</containsVideo> in the application.xml as an indication to the runtime. This is necessary to maintain correct ordering of video with other Flash content across different Android OS versions.

AIR 3.5.0.880 Runtime for Windows

AIR 3.5.0.890 Runtime for Macintosh

AIR 3.5.0.880 SDK for Windows

Adobe AIR Beta Channel Update

This beta release provides access to the latest AIR runtime and SDK (with compiler) for Windows, Mac OS, iOS and Android.

With this release, we are introducing a new numbering scheme for our product versions. Adopting the pattern set by Google with Chrome and Mozilla with Firefox, we will simply update the major version number with each subsequent release. In other words, beginning with the release of "Jones", Flash Player will become Flash Player 12. With each new major release, roughly every 3 months, that number will increase by one.

This change will also apply to AIR and the AIR SDK, albeit not right away. Our "Jones" release will be numbered AIR 4 and AIR SDK 4; however, with our "King" (Q2 2014) release, the version number will be synchronized with the Flash Player version at 13.

Below are some of the key features and benefits of AIR 4.0.  Please see our release notes for full details.

New Features:

• Graphics: Buffer Usage flag for Stage3D

We've added a new enum Class called Context3DBufferUsage which defines two constants, STATIC_DRAW (default) and DYNAMIC_DRAW.  These constants specify how buffers will be used in Stage3D. We've also added a new parameter, called "bufferUsage", to the constructors of VertexBuffer and IndexBuffer. This "bufferUsage" parameter uses one of the constants form Context3DBufferUsage, which will allow you to select the appropriate buffer type according to your needs.

• Android Workers

Introduced as a beta feature in AIR 3.9, we're continuing to improve this feature based on your feedback in preparation for an official release in AIR 4.

• Android - Support for native resources access by R* mechanism in native extension

Currently, to use the native Android resources in the Android Native Extension one has to use getResourceID() API while typically to access the resource IDs developers use the R.* mechanism. AIR 4.0 onwards, apps developers will be able to access the resources by R.* mechanism. All the dependencies need to be specified in platform.xml as following and all the dependencies and resources to be packaged in the ANE.

</platform xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/extension/4.0"><packagedDependencies>    <packagedDependency>sample-lib-method.jar</packagedDependency>    <packagedDependency>sample-lib-services.jar</packagedDependency></packagedDependencies><packagedResources>  <packagedResource>        <packageName>com.myane.sampleasextension</packageName>        <folderName>ane-res</folderName>    </packagedResource>    <packagedResource>        <packageName>com.example.lib</packageName>        <folderName>lib-res</folderName>    </packagedResource></packagedResources></platform>

Sample ANE packaging command, the folder Android-ARM contains all the jars and the resources of ane and the dependent jars.

bin/adt -package -target ane sample.ane extension.xml -swc sampleane.swc -platform Android-ARM -platformoptions platform.xml -C Android-ARM .

Note:

• The platform.xml, extention.xml and application descriptor should have namespace 4.0 or above.
• The ANE project should be a library project for R.* resource access mechanism to work.

Known Issues:

• 3658462: [iOS] Text field stops updating on iOS7 after giving voice input.

• Mac .pkg Installation Support – Deploying Flash Player and keeping it up to date is a critical task for system administrators worldwide.  In Flash Player 11.9 we added .pkg support for ease of deployment.  In Flash Player 12, we've incorporated feedback from system administrators to improve the workflow and UI.
• Internet Explorer 11 on Windows 7 Support - Microsoft has released IE 11 on Windows 7 and we plan to officially support this in Flash Player 12
• Safe Mode in Safari 6.1 and higher - Safari 6.1 includes an updated version of Safari with Safe Mode, which implements new security restrictions on the operation of browser plug-ins.  To the extent possible, we've adapted Flash Player to transparently handle these changes.  A small number of behaviors will change in the context of Safe Mode and are explained in the Known Issues section below.
• 64-Bit PPAPI Flash Player for Chrome - We'd like to encourage those interested in 64-bit Flash Player for Chrome to please download the latest build available in the Chrome Canary Channel.
• Graphics: Buffer Usage flag for Stage3D - We've added a new enum Class called Context3DBufferUsage which defines two constants, STATIC_DRAW (default) and DYNAMIC_DRAW.  These constants specify how buffers will be used in Stage3D. We've also added a new parameter, called "bufferUsage", to the constructors of VertexBuffer and IndexBuffer. This "bufferUsage" parameter uses one of the constants form Context3DBufferUsage, which will allow you to select the appropriate buffer type according to your needs.
• Supplementary Characters Enhancement Support for TextField – EXTENDED BETA– This is a desktop enhancement for supporting surrogate pairs in the TextField control.  Now, characters out of the Basic Multilingual Plane(BMP) with Unicode code points between U+10000 and U+10FFFF will work correctly in the TextField control.  It greatly enlarges the code point range we support and includes characters like emotion symbols (emoticons) and complex CCJK characters.  This feature is being introduced in the Flash Player 12 beta but will go live in a subsequent release.  Due to the sensitive nature of text display, we would like an extended test period to ensure no bugs are introduced.
• Stage3D Creation of Context3D with Profile Array - We've added a new interface to Stage3D.requestContext3DMatchingProfiles(profiles:Vector.<String> ) which will create a Context3D with highest level suitable profile that is in profile array,  based on the current hardware.  A developer can check the newly added property 'profile' to obtain the current profile that was chosen by the Flash Runtime.

Testing Guidance:  With our current and upcoming Flash Player betas, we recommend people pay particular attention to text content displayed via TextField controls.  Changes made for supplementary character enhancement might impact text generally and we'd like to make sure that all cases are covered.

Known Issues:

• [Mac] PKG Installer - The current Flash Player on OS X must be uninstalled before testing this build.  This is resolved in 12.0.0.7 and higher. [3662210]
• [Adobe Access] When playing a .video with no audio, video is not displayed. [3652203]

Fixed Issues:

• Multiple stability and security enhancements

Adobe AIR Beta Channel Update

This beta release provides access to the latest AIR runtime and SDK (with compiler) for Windows, Mac OS, iOS and Android.

With this release, we are introducing a new numbering scheme for our product versions. Adopting the pattern set by Google with Chrome and Mozilla with Firefox, we will simply update the major version number with each subsequent release. In other words, beginning with the release of "Jones", Flash Player will become Flash Player 12. With each new major release, roughly every 3 months, that number will increase by one.

This change will also apply to AIR and the AIR SDK, albeit not right away. Our "Jones" release will be numbered AIR 4 and AIR SDK 4; however, with our "King" (Q2 2014) release, the version number will be synchronized with the Flash Player version at 13.

Below are some of the key features and benefits of AIR 4.0.  Please see our release notes for full details.

New Features:

• iOS - Improved Packaging Engine

We're very excited about this new feature.  The new packaging engine we're working on can improve iOS packaging time up to 10 times over the current packager!  However this feature is still early in development and we'd like to get your feedback.  To enable this feature, please use "-useLegacyAOT no" in the ADT command, before the signing options.

• Graphics: Buffer Usage flag for Stage3D

We've added a new enum Class called Context3DBufferUsage which defines two constants, STATIC_DRAW (default) and DYNAMIC_DRAW.  These constants specify how buffers will be used in Stage3D. We've also added a new parameter, called "bufferUsage", to the constructors of VertexBuffer and IndexBuffer. This "bufferUsage" parameter uses one of the constants form Context3DBufferUsage, which will allow you to select the appropriate buffer type according to your needs.

• Android Workers

Introduced as a beta feature in AIR 3.9, we're continuing to improve this feature based on your feedback in preparation for an official release in AIR 4.

• Android - Support for native resources access by R* mechanism in native extension

Currently, to use the native Android resources in the Android Native Extension one has to use getResourceID() API while typically to access the resource IDs developers use the R.* mechanism. AIR 4.0 onwards, apps developers will be able to access the resources by R.* mechanism. All the dependencies need to be specified in platform.xml as following and all the dependencies and resources to be packaged in the ANE.

• SupplementaryCharacters Enhancement Support for TextField – EXTENDED BETA

This is a desktop enhancement for supporting surrogate pairs in the TextField control.  Now, characters out of the Basic Multilingual Plane(BMP) with Unicode code points between U+10000 and U+10FFFF will work correctly in the TextField control.  It greatly enlarges the code point range we support and includes characters like emotion symbols (emoticons) and complex CCJK characters.  This feature is being introduced in the AIR 4 beta but will go live in a subsequent release.  Due to the sensitive nature of text display, we would like an extended test period to ensure no bugs are introduced.

We encourage you to let us know what you think on our AIR Labs Forum

Today we're pleased to announce that the next version of AIR is available for immediate download.  This update includes the following new features and improvements:

New Features:

• Mobile Workers (concurrency) BETA - Android

Our hugely popular desktop feature, AIR Workers, is now making its debut on mobile! We have added support on Android devices so that you will be able to execute code in the background without interrupting your application’s main code. Your UI will remain responsive, enhancing the user experience. We haven’t forgotten about iOS! Look for news on iOS workers in an upcoming release (NOTE: this feature will undergo an extended beta period.)

• AIR Mobile Support for Background Execution in “Direct” Render Mode

AIR now supports background execution on iOS and Android when render mode is set to “direct”. This will allow your applications to perform tasks such as audio playback even when invisible to the user. Due to power and CPU considerations, we recommend reviewing our release notes for additional details and guidance.

In the past AIR on iOS and Android did not support background execution when render mode direct was set.  Due to this restriction, Stage3D based apps were not able to execute background tasks like audio playback, location updates, network upload/download etc.  iOS does not allow OpenGLES/rendering calls in the background.  Applications which attempt to make OpenGL calls in the background are terminated by the iOS.  Android does not restrict applications from either making OpenGLES in the background or other background task(like audio playback).

With this feature, we will now allow AIR mobile apps to execute in background when renderMode direct is set.  AIR iOS runtime will throw an error if OpenGLES calls are made in background.  However no error will be thrown on Android, as Android native apps are allowed to make OpenGLES calls in the background.  It's recommended to not make rendering calls while your app is executing in the background as its important to utilize the mobile resources judicially.  The following is a list of Stage APIs which may throw the error 3768 - The Stage3D API may not be used during background execution.  The swf version should be 22 and above.

Context3D.clear

Context3D.present

Context3D.createVertexBuffer

Context3D.createIndexBuffer

• AIR Support for iOS7

iOS7 has launched and we are making sure that AIR is compatible and performs as expected.

• AIR Mac OS 10.9 Support

We have tested against the latest developer releases of OS X 10.9 and are making sure that your applications support the latest technologies such as “App Nap”.

• AIR XXHDPI (144 x 144) Icon Support for Android

With this feature we have added support for beautiful, high resolution icons on devices such as the Nexus 10.

Notable bug fixes:

• [AIR] [Mac] [CCJK] - The IME will now be presented correctly after attempting to enter text in a read-only textfield

Known Issues:

• [3616981] [iOS] - Sound gets stop on clicking Power button even when UIBackground tag value set to Audio in application.xml

• 64-Bit PPAPI Flash Player for Chrome

We'd like to encourage those interested in 64-bit Flash Player for Chrome to please download the latest build available in the Chrome Canary Channel.

• Graphics: Buffer Usage flag for Stage3D

We've added a new enum Class called Context3DBufferUsage which defines two constants, STATIC_DRAW (default) and DYNAMIC_DRAW.  These constants specify how buffers will be used in Stage3D.

• Supplementary Characters Enhancement Support for TextField – EXTENDED BETA

This is a desktop enhancement for supporting surrogate pairs in the TextField control.  Now, characters out of the Basic Multilingual Plane(BMP) with Unicode code points between U+10000 and U+10FFFF will work correctly in the TextField control.  It greatly enlarges the code point range we support and includes characters like emotion symbols (emoticons) and complex CCJK characters.  This feature is being introduced in the Flash Player 12 beta but will go live in a subsequent release.  Due to the sensitive nature of text display, we would like an extended test period to ensure no bugs are introduced.
