Take advantage of a host of new features in the Adobe® Flash®
Player runtime that streamline the development process, improve
performance, enable greater security and privacy control, and allow
delivery of richer apps to a broader spectrum of devices.
Concurrency (ActionScript workers)
Create more responsive
content by offloading tasks (high-latency operations and long-running
computations) to background "workers" that run concurrently to leverage
more machine resources.
Webcam support for StageVideo
Utilize GPU acceleration to render webcam video streams with better performance.
Stage 3D accelerated graphics rendering
Explore a new architecture
for high-performance 2D/3D GPU hardware accelerated graphics rendering
by Adobe, which provides low-level Stage3D APIs for advanced rendering
in apps.
Native 64-bit support
Flash Player can now take
advantage of native support for 64-bit operating systems and 64-bit web
browsers on Linux®, Mac OS, and Windows®.
H.264/AVC software encoding for cameras
Stream beautiful video
from your computer's camera with higher compression efficiency and
industry-wide support, enabling both high-quality real-time
communications (such as video chat and video conferencing) and live
video broadcasts.
Protected HTTP Dynamic Streaming (HDS)
Protect streaming video across devices without the complexity of a license server.
Multi-threaded video decoding
Deliver live streaming and
real-time interactive video with improved playback performance and
increased frame rates of high bit rate content running on Windows, Mac
OS, and Linux.
Enhanced mouse controls and relative coordinates
Create immersive,
panoramic games for new classes of content, including first-person games
that take advantage of infinite scrolling, mouse lock, relative mouse
coordinates, and right- and middle-click events.
LZMA support for ByteArray
In addition to zlib
compression of ByteArray, this compression type based on LZMA can be
used to compress data inside a ByteArray.
Sandbox bridge support
Sandbox bridging allows
specific ActionScript® objects or functions to be exposed between
SWF-to-SWF cross-domain communications.
Compressed texture with alpha support for Stage3D
Transparent images are now supported for compressed textures (ATF file format).
Flash Player background updates
New versions of the
runtimes can now be delivered more effectively to the end user with this
enhanced updating mechanism for Windows and Mac OS.
Adobe Flash Access®
Take advantage of key
rotation support, V3 license chaining, domain support, enhanced output
protection, and device filtering features.
Secure random number generator
Developers can now take
advantage of cryptographically secure random number generation to build
more secure algorithms and protocols.
TLS Secure Sockets support
Take advantage of new support for secure communications in client/server applications.
G.711 audio compression for telephony
Support interoperability
with legacy phone systems via the Flash Media Gateway (FMG) and other
third-party clients (through the open RTMP protocol) without the need
for transcoding.
Enhanced high-resolution bitmap support
Enable the development of
apps that use very large bitmaps. BitmapData objects are no longer
limited to a maximum resolution of 16 megapixels (16,777,215 pixels),
and maximum bitmap width/height is no longer limited to 8,191 pixels.
Asynchronous bitmap decoding
Improve app responsiveness
and deliver smoother animation by decoding images on initial load,
instead of on demand. Images are cached as needed.
Native JSON (JavaScript Object Notation)
ActionScript developers
can now take advantage of high-performance native parsing and generation
of JSON-formatted data. Developers can integrate existing data
seamlessly into their projects.
Garbage collection advice
A GC advice API provides
additional control over the scheduling of garbage collection, so that
the garbage collection process does not disrupt the user experience.
Socket progress events
Improve management of data
transfer with a new property to determine the number of bytes remaining
in the write buffer and a new event for when data is being sent to the
network layer. New APIs allow apps to easily track progress and provide
feedback.
JPEG-XR support
Support for the JPEG-XR
advanced image compression standard (International Standard ISO/IEC
29199-2) provides more efficient compression than JPEG, enables both
lossy and lossless compression support, and adds support for alpha
channel transparency.
High-efficiency SWF compression support
Take advantage of LZMA
compression to reduce SWF file sizes by up to 40%, enabling users to
benefit from richer experiences with shorter download times and reduced
bandwidth consumption.
New removeChildren API
DisplayObjectContainer now
implements a removeChildren API allowing developers to quickly remove
all of a container’s children using a single API call.
New MovieClip property
Take advantage of the new MovieClip.isPlaying property, which returns the MovieClip's current playing state.
Native text input UI (mobile)
Mobile apps can now take
advantage of the native text input controls on Android, BlackBerry
Tablet, and iOS operating systems, including platform-specific user
interaction behaviors such as magnification and text selection.
