Key New Features
3D Effects - Easily transform and animate any display object through 3D space while retaining full interactivity. Fast, lightweight, and native 3D effects make motion that was previously reserved for expert users available to everyone. Complex effects are simple with APIs that extend what you already know.
Custom Filters and Effects - Create your own portable filters, blend modes, and fills using Adobe® Pixel Bender™, the same technology used for many After Effects CS3 filters. Shaders in Flash Player are about 1KB and can be scripted and animated at runtime.
Advanced Text Layout - A new, highly flexible text layout engine, co-existing with TextField, enables innovation in creating new text controls by providing low-level access to text offering right-to-left and vertical text layout, plus support for typographic elements like ligatures.
Enhanced Drawing API - Runtime drawing is easier and more powerful with re-styleable properties, 3D APIs, and a new way of drawing sophisticated shapes without having to code them line by line.
Visual Performance Improvements – Applications and videos will run smoother and faster with expanded use of hardware acceleration. By moving several visual processing tasks to the video card, the CPU is free to do more. |

I'd say this is the second time I've been impressed by a flash upgrade. I've never been able to run flash apps full screen without slowness until now.
Still not going to use Flash when I make my game, but hey whatever works. |

I don't really expect that in these types of apps for a loooong time, sadly. But they say it is one of their biggest requests so who knows? |

That's what I mean, like we've had 64bit browsers for over 5 years...!
No wonder it's a bit of a running joke that Adobe haven't been bothered so far, and I'm sure I'll be past level four on Duke Nukem Forever when it does finally get released...  |

We've had 64 bit IE anyway...no official build of anything else except for Linux.
I'd guess they'll release it when the benefits are more comprehensive, and I think they won't be until more 64 bit browsers are released.
