Flash Player 11.4 beta and concurrency / workers
Hi,
New beta version of the Flash Player is up on Adobe labs.
http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer11-4.html
This contains web workers which could help parts of the SDK eg printing or at the very least be an interesting area to explore.
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/beta/reference/actionscript/3/flash/system/Worker.html
Note however that they are not light weight ie basically full virtual flash player instances I believe.
If you want to compile the SDK with 11.4 the playerglobal,swc can be found here:
http://labsdownload.adobe.com/pub/labs/flashplatformruntimes/flashplayer11-4/flashplayer11-4_p1_playerglobal_071612.swc
Thanks,
Justin

No, workers can share all kind of objects including custom classes as long
you use registerClassAlias() inside your worker. There is a limitation
where you can't send Class types back and forward.

Can Worker threads still only communicate in strings with each other ?

Printing can already be done "in the background", but it could be useful
elsewhere.
