david_deraedt — Sun, 10/19/2008 – 12:50

With flashplayer10 out in the wild, it’s only a matter of days before the release of both FlexBuilder 3.2 and AIR 1.5 -aka Cosmo (nightly builds are already available).

Flash player 10 security

Hmmmm!! I was reading the flash player 10 security that adobe releases last week.I am very happy with the new text engine they are comming up with,

previous text engine have lots of limitations(like was not able to render HTML conent,as other HTML style related stuffs which i faced during development).But this time i think some them they managed.It was a nice feature if they supports HTML fully.

The other features like RTMP(Real time messaging protocol)….i faced lots of problem with scalling of FMS(flash media server)..this time they fixed some thing like lossy delivery, improving performance of real time communications.

ai! in between anyone have an idea of “SPEEK AUDIO CODECS” …

one more feature i love is Drawing API…i love it..
