Flash Player 9 and Flash 9 (”Blaze”)

April 22nd, 2006

Flash Player 8.5 will be move to version 9, mostly likely because of all the major changes it entails. New VM new AS version etc…

The other interesting thing is the Flash authoring tool buzz. The next generation Flash authoring tool is code-named “Blaze”. Here is a snippet from the macromedia dev center.

However, we will be releasing an alpha version of Blaze in the spring of 2006 that will include ActionScript 3.0 support. This will be a pre-release alpha version (not an update to Flash 8), and will be available to anyone who has purchased Flash Professional 8 and or Macromedia Studio 8.

Along with the quote from Mike Chambers, macromedia.com, back in October 2005 we have the comments over on flashmagazine.com. Here is the link on flashmagazine.com
