Re: Future of Flex technology - Answers

Isn't that more about not making Flash Player for Linux any more (unless 
you want the nondebug version that is locked to working with only Chrome) ?

Although it's not strictly Flex related, AS Workers do not work under PPAPI.

I don't know.  You'd have to ask those folks.  But from forum traffic, it
appears that even Google, with all of their resources, is having quality
issues as well.  That's why I think it is a difficult undertaking for an
Apache project made up of volunteers, but I do make an annual request for
Adobe to donate the player that gets denied.

Out of curiosity the Flex test suites ever get run against  Pepper Flash
player? Do they find any differences?
