What does this all mean for a nooblet like myself?

[Jared]

Oh don't worry about it. If you don't know what it means you really shouldn't worry about it. All of that information is only useful for developers.

I understood a fair bit of it, but unless I'm coding in ASC III I wouldnt care, would I?

[Jared]

Nope, but as AS three is coming out next year. Though the penetration for the player is still too low for consideration in my development cycle.

Mmm, fair enough.

Good to see they fixed the full screen playing abilities on Macs. That was making me angry on the school 'puters.

[Jacob]

Ya thats just dev stuff. It means a lot to us, but if you're not developing dont worry about it.

Well, the losing frames full screen on a mac was actually making my marks go down.

"Teacher, its not my fault that the -"
"Should have thought of that!"

just to note that you may only use AS3 with flex2 or using some OS IDE..

The Flash 9 IDE is in public alpha and private beta. The latest drop of the private beta is working pretty good.

I meant for now..
and adding to it, the only IDE aside flex2 would be flashDevelop2

if anyone want to try it, this blog explains how to get it working..

flash is great to make vector images, but it aint very good to code..after using other IDES such as eclipse and flashDevelop it aint hard to notice..

[Jacob]

Yes and I also meant a limited Flash 9 IDE is available now as well.

The coding environment may not be the best ever but its perfectly fine for most.
