Security update for Flash player 9.0.124.0

There is a security update in the latest flash player update….it hited our app. …i think adobe has lack of documentation…If any of the following situations apply, you should read this article in detail:

• You use sockets or XMLSockets, regardless of the domain to which you are connecting
• You use addRequestHeader or URLRequest.requestHeaders in any network API call when sending or loading data cross-domain

            or

• You provide access to content on remote domains as a web service provider
• You have SWFs that are exported for Flash Player 7 (SWF7) or earlier that communicate with the hosting HTML by any means
• You use “javascript:” through network APIs to communicate outside a SWF

go through the detail article for security updates ,if you are using any of the above from here

Improving Flex application performance using the Flash Player cache

First impressions mean a great deal. The first thing someone does when using an application is to download it—and if that process takes too long, it will detract from the user experience. To improve that experience, you need to learn strategies for reducing the download time and improving the startup time of your Flex applications.

This article shows you how to take advantage of the new Adobe Flash Player cache using Adobe Flex 3. I take a look at how to use this approach in both Flex Builder and the Flex SDK command-line tools.
