RE: [flexcoders] Stats on flash player 9 penetration.

[Matt Chotin]

Some very popular sites require Player 9 because it was the earliest release with some security fixes.  Those fixes are in older versions that will be coming out soon (or may have already come out).  As in, there will be newer versions of Player 8 and Player 7 with those fixes I think.   Matt   From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Clint Modien Sent: Sunday, October 01, 2006 10:42 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Stats on flash player 9 penetration.   Thanks Matt.   I'm totally confused now.  Isn't the only thing requiring a player upgrade to 9.0 flex 2?  Without auto-update turned on what is causing such a blazing fast adoption rate?     On 9/30/06, Matt Chotin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]com> wrote: Actually I'm not sure we've turned on auto-update yet.  But the downloads have been high without it.  We're still figuring out the timing of auto-update.   Matt   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ups.com] On Behalf Of John Dowdell Sent: Friday, September 29, 2006 2:47 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]ups.com Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Stats on flash player 9 penetration.   Clint Modien wrote: > Do we have stats for flash player 9 penetration yet? > Has Adobe turned on the auto-update for flash 9 player yet?

Adobe Flash Player 9 entered general public distribution at the end of June: http://weblogs.macromedia.com/emmy/archives/2006/06/a_pocket_guide.cfm It did not fall within the most recent consumer audit: http://weblogs.macromedia.com/emmy/archives/2006/08/flash_player_8_1.cfm The daily rate of successful installations indicates that we're likely close to an astounding 50% consumer viewability already: http://blog.digitalbackcountry.com/?p=498 I don't know the auto-update date offhand, but it has contributed to the above results. FP9 adoption is freakin' fast, that's the long and short of it. ;-) jd -- John Dowdell . Adobe Developer Support .
