Well I’m back and really excited about what this new year is promising to bring. I had a couple of weeks at home with the family and deliberately avoided anything resembling ActionScript. I guess the plan worked as I’m now fully recharged and ready to go.
So, today is my second day back at work and I was greeted with this when I booted up my PC…
Which I think is fantastic and frankly long overdue! This is the first time I’ve seen this, has it been around for awhile or is it part of a recent Windows update? At work we’re constantly required to publish to Flash Player 7 and below simply because the penetration rates in corporate IT infrastructures aren’t significant enough yet (well, with our clients anyway). We published to 8 for one project mid last year and suffered the consequences.
If you’re a Flash Professional, I’d love to hear about your experiences and approaches to the publishing problem. When do you think it will be safe to publish to 8 (or even 9) and what steps to you take to make sure those with older/more restricted computers can still enjoy your content?
