Linux Flash Player 10

unloadAndStop in Flash Player 10

07/03/2008 12:24 am by gBlog in Flash

Adobe has announced the addition of the new Loader.unloadAndStop() method for Flash Player 10. This API makes it much simpler to free a loaded SWF for collection. It's still possible to prevent a SWF from being unloaded, but it's much more difficult to do by accident. Kudos to the player team for putting this in.

So Adobe created a special version of Flash player for Google and Yahoo to index SWF files. This basically goes through your SWF and magically figures out what to click on and how to interact with your application, just like a real person would do. How does it do it? Here’s what I think is [...]

I previously mentioned the BBC adopting AIR for widgets, but this little nugget in the paidContent story is worth highlighting: "In October [the BBC] signed a technology deal with Adobe to adopt its Flash [for video]... finally axing Microsoft's WMV and Real's video formats in favour of embedded [Flash] video, causing video views to double."
