Flash 9 dirty dirty smuts and some good stuff coming too...

Flash 9 / AS3 has some issues regarding unloading content that one of our developers pointed out this week. GSkinner writes about it and explains more on the issue.
The impact for us is crucial since almost everything we produce uses loaded content with contained functionality.

Next generation flash... Diesel
There are som really interesting news with rendering in 3D , kinematics and other advanced features but what hits us most is the new format for the source - XFL. The flash format specification has never been public but with this new xml formatted source the future opens up. This means that anyone could create a flash authoring tool in javascript or any other language for that matter. Adobe Air anyone? Flash As A Service? Possibilities are endless if only a XFL compiler is available *crossing my fingers and hoping for this to happen*.
