In a quick move to assure the public of Flash's continuing relevance in web and desktop development, Adobe revealed the coming features in their next version of Flash Player and AIR. Hoping to 'wow' their loyal Flash-game developers, Adobe has been revving up its 2D and 3D graphics acceleration. Full hardware-accelerated rendering for 2D and 3D graphics enable 1,000 times faster rendering performance over Flash Player 10 and AIR 2. -Adobe Release
This 1000x performance leap comes from a project that's been cooking in Adobe Labs called "Stage3D" which renders hundreds of thousands of z-buffered triangles (at 60Hz) instead of the measly thousands that were rendered (unbuffered at 30Hz) in older versions of Flash. Adobe thinks that game graphics along with the digital rights management of those games (so developers get paid) will keep Flash relevant in a web environment where HTML5 is starting to do most of the heavy lifting. Most of the buzz out there was calling the Windows 8 Metro news around plugins a deathknell for Flash, but people forget that the Metro is just one optional way to run the Windows 8 desktop. A majority of people will probably use the more familiar Windows desktop, which will allow plugins. Adobe also expects that Flash applications will find there way into Metro the same way they did for the iOS - through the AIR runtime. Read more: Web builder zone
