Adobe® Flash® Player 10, code-named "Astro," introduces new expressive features and visual performance improvements that allow interactive designers and developers to build the richest and most immersive Web experiences. These new capabilities also empower the community to extend Flash Player and to take creativity and interactivity to a new level.
This public prerelease is an opportunity for developers and consumers to test and provide early feedback to Adobe on new features, enhancements, and compatibility with previously authored content. Once you’ve installed Flash Player 10 beta, you can view interactive demos. You can also help make Flash Player better by visiting all of your favorite sites, making sure they work the same or better than with the current player.
3D Effects - Easily transform and animate any display object through 3D space while retaining full interactivity. Fast, lightweight, and native 3D effects make motion that was previously reserved for expert users available to everyone. Complex effects are simple with APIs that extend what you already know.
Custom Filters and Effects - Create and share your own portable filters, blend modes, and fills using Adobe Pixel Bender™, the same technology used for many After Effects CS3 filters. Shaders in Flash Player are about 1KB and can be scripted and animated at runtime.
Advanced Text Layout - A new, highly flexible text layout engine, co-existing with TextField, enables innovation in creating new text controls by providing low-level access to text offering right-to-left and vertical text layout, plus support for typographic elements like ligatures.
Enhanced Drawing API - Runtime drawing is easier and more powerful with re-styleable properties, 3D APIs, and a new way of drawing sophisticated shapes without having to code them line by line.
Visual Performance Improvements – Applications and videos will run smoother and faster with expanded use of hardware acceleration. By moving several visual processing tasks to the video card, the CPU is free to do more.
Enhanced Sound APIs – Work with loaded MP3 audio at a lower level in Flash Player 10. The new APIs will let you do application-level audio mixing through ActionScript and even audio filtering with Adobe Pixel Bender.

Adobe discontinues FlashPaper
Adobe discontinues FlashPaper
There was some discussion about this when Adobe took over Macromedia. Several wondered if FlashPaper would survive the merger and some days ago it was announced that Adobe won't create a new version of the FlashPaper technology.
FlashPaper was a product that Macromedia bought from Blue Pacific back in 2003. It allowed you to print to a custom printer driver that would output any document as a SWF that could be viewed online by anyone with the Flash Player installed. There was some discussion in both the Adobe and Macromedia communities back then if FlashPaper would survive the merger. It was after all a technology that competed directly with the PDF format.
Some days ago, Adobe published a FAQ that tells that FlashPaper will no longer be developed. While it probably wasn't a lucurative software for Adobe, it will be missed by many.

FCG (Flex code generator) goes final and open source
After lots of delays (and headaches), I've finally released the v 1.0 and the source code of FCG, my Flex code generator.
Note : Beta users will have to manually upgrade to v 1.0 by reinstalling the AIR file from the project's page, as the update mechanism has switched to the official Adobe AIR update framework.
As some of you may have noticed, things didn't actually go as I had first expected. My initial goal was to let users develop their own generators and parsers as plugins (in the form of modules or RSLs) and share it with the community. Unfortunately, after a lot of time spent on rewriting the whole architecture, I had to face the fact that I was unable to properly deliver this feature.
During this time, bugs arised, new frameworks came out, and many of you have written me various requests to add this or that feature, always kindly reminding me that things would be much easier for everyone if the application was open sourced (I take this opportunity to thank you all for your help and encouragements). Your were totally right about this, but I first had to clean my own mess.
So I've finally spent some time un-implementing the crappy architecture I had put in place and go back to a structure which has the great advantage of not driving you completely insane trying to understand it (let alone explaining it).
Be warned : this can be a lot of work. The source code is (not enough) commented but doesn't come with a proper developer documentation, and it probably never will. However, I'll be glad to answer your questions by email.
I won't create any public code repository anytime soon neither. First because I simply don't have enough time for this, and second because I'm not sure what my commitment to the project will be in the near future. Moreover, Flex productivity is a topic which has finally been taken seriously, both by Adobe (see Flex 4 specs) and third parties - more on that on a later post. So I'm not sure FCG's model will be relevant in the future months.
