Flash Player Version 10 (Beta) V 10.0.1.218
      #394491 - Sun May 18 2008 07:20 PM

Adobe has released a New Beta Version of Flash Player 10.0.1.218 (File size of 1.76 MB)

It says on the Change list It is now able to handle 3D Flash So does that mean MSN Live Maps ,Google Earth May be smoother in animation?

Quote:

Key New Features

3D Effects - Easily transform and animate any display object through 3D space while retaining full interactivity. Fast, lightweight, and native 3D effects make motion that was previously reserved for expert users available to everyone. Complex effects are simple with APIs that extend what you already know.

Custom Filters and Effects - Create your own portable filters, blend modes, and fills using Adobe® Pixel Bender", the same technology used for many After Effects CS3 filters. Shaders in Flash Player are about 1KB and can be scripted and animated at runtime.

Advanced Text Layout - A new, highly flexible text layout engine, co-existing with TextField, enables innovation in creating new text controls by providing low-level access to text offering right-to-left and vertical text layout, plus support for typographic elements like ligatures.

Enhanced Drawing API - Runtime drawing is easier and more powerful with re-styleable properties, 3D APIs, and a new way of drawing sophisticated shapes without having to code them line by line.

Visual Performance Improvements - Applications and videos will run smoother and faster with expanded use of hardware acceleration. By moving several visual processing tasks to the video card, the CPU is free to do more.





I'm Installing it even if there is no change to the basics

www.filehippo.com/download_flashplayer_ie/ (Internet Explorer Version)

www.filehippo.com/download_flashplayer_firefox/ ( This download is the standalone installer for Firefox, Opera and other Gecko-based browsers)

Says on the Filehippo download page that the old version must be uninstalled before you upgrade OK?

Rather than wasting time with dodgy second hand download sites, users wishing to use Beta software should ALWAYS go direct to the source of the release, in this case Adobe Labs. That way you will get a proper appreciation of what using Beta software actually means and the impact it may have on your PC.
