OFT - Flash player updates

[Williams Farias <wi...@gmail.com>]

Greating everybody,

It´s nice to be here reading about Flex future. I´m not an expert
developer, i´m a creative that only put the things to work, and Flex
obviously is the best way to do it.

My question is about the future - 3 to 5 years. Adobe seams not to stop
developing the updates for Flash Player for browsers. So, will we stop on
version 11 forever? or Apache group will continue to develop Flash Player
for web too? Does Adobe donate or will donate Flash Player to continue the
updates? And if we really wont have more updates, what this means to Flex
development in the future? I think if we stop developing the end point of
the technology the updates of the framework wont make sense. Do we have
some information or prediction about this?

Thanks,

Williams Farias

Hi,

For Adobe plans for the next several versions of the Flash Player (3 point releases and Flash Player "next") read this:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplatform/whitepapers/roadmap.html

Apache Flex should be able to use the new versions of the Flash Player. The build scripts in the patches branch currently allow the SDK to be compiled against the 11.2 RC Flash Player.

Thanks,
Justin

William,

Read this and see if it clears things up. You have a lot of mis-information there.

William,

It sounds like there's some confusion regarding what Adobe is and is not 
doing. It's my understanding that Adobe is only halting development on 
the flash player for mobile phones. Adobe will continue to develop flash 
player for the desktop due to the new focus on games and video. They 
haven't announced any intention to pass the flash player off to Apache.

Cheers,
Robert
