I just had the time to watch what was presented in the MX Chicago 2007, apparently much.. hmm, Adobe’s 3D api looks attractive, I guess using intrinsic classes is shorter (20 lines?!) and easier to migrate than the current 3rd party packages, and according to this vid, the performance will be great.
I am also exited about the Advanced Text Layout Support coming in version 10, take a look at this vid, thanks again Aral. After years of neglecting RTL languages (that is Right To Left writing direction – Hebrew and Arabic), and countless crippled hacks that never really worked – finally a solution seems to work good.
And this makes me very happy.

The last Adobe Flash Player update, (Aug 21, codenamed “Moviestar”) integrates H.264 video and High Efficiency AAC audio codecs, as well as multi core support and full screen mode with hardware scaling.So flash will soon deliver HD quality videos, good news : )Flash is probably the best video platform today, as it combines the customizable interactivity of flash scripting and advanced streaming and playing abilities.The recently updated YouTube player is a great example, developing the video playing experience by improving the most difficult part – selecting the video out of the endless inventory without too much effort by the viewer. In the new player when the video you watched is over, relevant videos are offered, very aesthetically and in the same location, without visiting the flickr website or even leaving the page. nice.YouTube new player interface:
Adobe announced in the 3GSM Congress that the next release of Flash Lite™ (Flash for mobile phones & devices) will support Flash Video (FLV), to be available in the first half of 2007 – that’s really soon!This means the same video we view with our browsers will soon be viewable with our smart phones, making the FLV a dominant standard for delivering streaming video content to all devices.This also means future potential in terms of the smart phone’s User Interface, giving another strong incentive for implementing Flash Lite in the phones, also holds a possible answer to Apple’s iPhone User Interface coolness factor, as flash also allows really cool stuff. hmm, good news for flash developers.
