I wish this would make sense to me. Either this is really obvious or I'm
baffled.
Flash 8 just came out
Flash Alpha (next version NOT allowed to be called Flash 9 for some
reason) is coming out in the spring of 2006 and will be available free
to the public or current Flash 8 users
Flash Alpha final (after alpha and beta) will be shipped in the first
half of next year (2006) julyish
Flash 8 users will have to buy Flash Alpha
Was Flash 8 really Flash "7.5" so it could be included in the new
Macromedia Studio? Does this have to do with the whole unsyncronized
thing or the Adobe merger/rebranding? I'm just trying to understand
this. Maybe translate into ActionScript 2.0. ;)

Yeah, I know, I was just guessing since if you have an alpha
in the spring, I couldn't figure how the final version
wouldn't be out until 2007, but what do I know. This is
really exciting stuff.

Yes. Except, i didn't say that Flash 9 (or whatever it is called),
will be out in a year.
Historically the release cycles for Flash have been 18 - 24 months.

Thanks Darron and Cortlandt - that makes more sense now.
So if I have
this right, in the spring, we get an alpha version of a
partial "Flash
9" which has AS3 to play with, but this is nothing to buy,
just to test
in the 8.5 player. The next update to Flash will NOT be a
dot release,
it will be Flash 9 with AS3 which will be available to
purchase maybe a
year or so from now. So this is a somewhat shorter
development cycle
than usual.

Hi Jason
I think the next full version of flash authoring will be
flash9, and
that an
early alpha might be availble in the spring, but there
will be no QA'd
update to 8 to support As3. You can probably put this in
the context
of "MM
will be Adobe soon", so that even if they wanted to just
support an
as3
update to flash8, it would probably be a logistical nightmare. So
whatever
is available in the spring it will be a part of the next
release of
the
authoring environment, not a free update to the current release.
I'm not an MM employee, but that's how I read it.

Mike Chambers, can you clarify?

Could you clarify what "Flash Authoring" is and what

So Mike Chambers replied:
Flash Professional 8
Just to clarify. There is no update for Flash Professional 8
planned.
But Mike Chambers also wrote:

that includes ActionScript 3 support. This will be

So now I'm really confused! Those sound like contradictory
statements.
If Flash Authoring = Flash 8 (Flash IDE) and the next
full version
of
authoring will be available in the spring, then how can
no update
for
Flash be planned? Is this "authoring" you're referring
to NOT the
Flash
IDE? Can you clarify what this "thing" is that will be
released in
the
"spring" or at least explain the contradiction?
Thanks.
