Continue reading →A new beta Flash 9 update adds fullscreen functionality to Flash Player. This raises two concerns: first and foremost, the ability for malicious developers to exploit the feature (specially for ads). This seems to be well addressed by way of the security features and rules that you have to follow when triggering the fullscreen mode. […]
Continue reading →How could I have missed that? FlashDevelop has better AS3 support now, including code completion. I’ve already been using AS3 on it for a few days on a personal project of mine, but having that official patch helps.
