Hi everyone,

Check it out, so Adobe released a prerelease version of Flash Player 10 (Astro). If you download the nightly build of the Flex 3 SDK you can actually publish for Flash 10, although time will reveal what that practically means in the way of features and classes available.


Here's an article with the nitty gritty details:

Here's the page about it on Adobe labs:

Here's where you can download the nightly builds:

And lastly, do you think there's a way to target Flash Player 10 using FlashDevelop? Would we need to use different SDK paths to set up the flex-config correctly?

Thanks, and have fun toying

One more thing,

Flash Player 10 includes the ability to use custom filters and shaders in your content, using the new "Pixel Bender" toolkit. I'm guessing (for those who follow these things) that this is the "Hydra" language Adobe mentioned earlier.

For all who are interested, here's where you can learn more about Pixel Bender:

Yes that's great news - I am currently fixing FP10 support in FD:
- done: allowing targeting FP10 in project settings and building,
- working on: supporting the new stuff in SWCs.

That's not just a great future, it's the future!
I didn't get if you got that now flash will be accelerated using Opengl 2.0 compliant cards!
Pixel blender = pixel shader!
Real 3D games, with nowadays graphic effects.
I'm looking forward to know if FD can already be used with this new tech.

Cleaned up the announce:

To sum up:
- FP10 support in FD (project, building),
- plus code completion support for Vector type.

Sweet! Maybe we can call it a wrap soon then guys? You've been posting Beta releases for almost a year now (May 31, 2007) and truth is - the average developer don't want to use software labeled as "Beta". Sorry for nagging you about this again, but if the product is stable, why call it a Beta and not a release?

@nIg3D You want to see the future? This is just wicked!

Is there anyone we can get auto complete for the new classes and members?

Right now I have the swc added to my project folder so I can see the classes in the project window. But I can't see them in auto complete, and even in the project window it doesn't show what the parameters of methods are it just shows methodName() even if it has parameters.

What is the best way to set it up to play with?

Did you get the latest SVN build?

If you get the build and carefully follow all the details in the following post it should work fine:
http://www.flashdevelop.org/community/v ... php?t=3039

I've noticed that there are some methods that are not showing up in autocomplete, but depending upon how you have autocompletion on intrinsic methods I would imagine this is simply an issue of discovering and adding new signatures into the library for FlashDevelop.

One example are the new "rotationX", "rotationY" and "rotationZ" properties on DisplayObjects. When I use your example Flash 10 project I can compile the project with these methods perfectly, but they don't show up in autocompletion.

But like I said, if autocomplete is done on more of a manual basis then this is certainly more of a new feature to add rather than a bug.

FlashDevelop is probably the best application out there right now for publishing or playing with Flash Player 10.

Make sure you added FP10's playerglobal.swc to your External Libraries (in project's compiler options).

Also check you have downloaded the latest build - I updated it 2 times already.

Oh, funny. I see it now.

I updated to revision 2300 but I still wasn't seeing the completion for rotation. I built the solution and copied files to Program Files to update my main version. However I just tried running the project from my Bin\Debug directory directly and it works like a charm.

Thank you

Working great for me too.

Is anyone having problems with array psuedo typing in the latest revisions?



images. <-- completes properly
images[i]. <-- does nothing

Correct, this is broken - I'll fix that.

just in case this has gone unnoticed to some of you:
