Will there be an extension released that allows FP 8 Pro users to code and
design for Flash Player 9+ and AS 3?

Can we code in FP 8 Pro for AS 3?

I am unsure of these answers and why Adobe is, looks like to me from my stand
point, not going to support version 8 of flash after 9 is released next year.
I may just be paranoid and looking at it from a wrong perspective but this is
what it looks like to me.

No plan to make 8 Pro compatable with the new version 3 Action Script?


Thanks

Hmmm.. I thought my post was whiney and wasn't worth it so I deleted it.
After I did, there was responses hours later. I feel like an idiot now. LOL

Thank you for your replies. I was unsure really what was going on, it looks
like Adobe is taking flash to a new level and when they new version comes out
next year if I can afford it, will be forced to invest in it. I think it is a
bit much to have to reinvest in entire new software every one or two years
though I understand now about the total redesign of flash engine.


For those that didn't get to read my post that started this thread. I asked
if us Flash Pro 8 users are out of luck with beign able to use the flash 9 and
AS 3 features. I thought it would be nice to have a extension that allows
version 8 to use version 9+ but as the responses and what I have read, it is an
entirely different animal.

I hope though that once 9 comes out next year, the IDE not the player which
came out few days ago, that it wil be software that will last more than a year
or two without needing to upgrade to the next thing. The turn around on
technology and trashing the old is a bit too fast for me especially when it
means multiple thousand dollar investments. I guess upgrade discounts help..

Anyway that was what my original thread was about.


Thanks

Yep - Flash 9 :) - slated for release 'sometime' in 2007.

No. However, you can of course publish for FOP, and it *should* run fine
under FP9, as FP9 includes both the new version 2 VM and version 1.

Deleting only works on the web forum - those of us accessing via NNTP only
see the original post, not any edits or deletions. Don;t worry - far from
the whiniest post I've seen ;)

Hello Peter.

Ummm... what's FOP?

Unlike AS1 vs AS2 .. AS3 is completely different. Flash 8 just isn't
capable of compiling to AS3. I don't know if Adobe will make an update to
Flash 8 to allow for AS3 .. but it would be much more likely (and sensible
for them) to make it Flash 9 (as its a big change to scripting performance
and abilities).

Er - a typo :). Sorry, should have read FP8 (Flash Player 8)
