Flash Professional 9 ActionScript 3.0 Preview

Flash Professional 9 ActionScript 3.0 Preview

Adobe Flash Professional 9 ActionScript 3.0 Preview provides registered users of Flash Professional 8 with early access to the new ActionScript 3.0 language and the ability to publish to the newly-released Flash Player 9. ActionScript 3.0 and the new ActionScript Virtual Machine introduced with Flash Player 9 are among the most significant advances in the history of Flash. These new advancements, made in Flash Player 9, provide a more robust programming model, achieve standards compliance, and deliver ground-breaking performance improvements.

The Flash Professional 9 ActionScript 3.0 Preview is the only planned “preview release” of the next version of the Flash authoring tool before the final version ships in 2007. The only “new” features exposed in this very early preview of Flash 9 are those related to publishing ActionScript 3.0 content to Flash Player 9. This includes integration of the new ActionScript 3.0 compiler, the new “Document Class” feature which allows users to assign a class to the main timeline, and a new publish target for Flash Player 9. There are other useful features planned for ActionScript development but they are not being made publicly available at this time.

A universal binary version of Flash Professional 9 ActionScript 3.0 Preview for Intel-based Macintosh computers is not planned to be made available on Labs. A universal binary version is planned for the final release.
