    Flash Lite 3 fun

    Today Adobe announced the availability of Adobe Flash Lite 3 software. You can download Flash Lite 3 Update for Flash CS3 Professional and Flash Lite 3.0 update for Device Central CS3 but no Flash Lite 3 Player it self. They say Flash Lite 3 Developer Edition will be available for download in early November 2007 and if somebody is interested in testing Flash Lite 3 content before the availability of the Developer Edition, it should send them an email. This interim build of Adobe Flash Lite 3 Developer Edition has been certified only on the Nokia N95 device. Isn't that cute? But it's WRONG!

    I sent them an email anyways because I have to check if it will work on my N80 (which also supports s60 3rd gen as N95). I am really interested what this baby can do. By specs, compared to FL2.1, FL3 brings increased performance by 15-20% in ActionScript, improved rendering performance by 20-30%, better memory management and support for Flash Video (FLV) with Sorensen & On2 codecs and RTMP Streaming. You can check full version comparison here.

    Both those new Flash CS3 updates take *AGES* to install (and I have really fast workstation) and they both are infected with no-text-in-installer virus. Just click your way man, click your way... This first happened to me with AIR CS3 update, but I thought "Oh, it's my crazy XP playing tricks on me!". Adobe - WTF?! This reminds me on crazy ATI driver uninstaller but. Left button - empty, right button - empty. Which one will you click? Right one! :)

    Flash Player 10 aka Astro announced

    My main man C4RL05 just got back from the Adobe's MAX keynote in rainy Chicago. He reports that they announced "Astro" aka Flash Player 10 and demonstrated it's top 3 new features: better text handling, custom filters and something they call "simple 3D". The custom filters allow people to create their own using a language called Hydra. Runtime execution seemed similar to the predefined filters. I think this could be really useful for shading and special effects. C4RL05 is disappointed by 3D features, and lack of 3D hardware support. I just want to see how they bettered font embedding in text components. :)
