New Features for Flash Player 20:
- Video rotation information available to ActionScript
The Flash runtime will now process the track header box and movie header box metadata correctly, allowing for correct positioning and sizing of video.
- Stage3D instanced drawing
We’re constantly looking for ways to improve the lives of our developers. Our Stage3d API’s have allowed developers to create incredibly beautiful and fluid performing games. This new API will leverage the GPU on mobile devices and provides improved performance when drawing similar objects numerous times in a scene.
- PPAPI vector printing for Windows
Another platform parity success story. With Flash Player 20, vector printing has come to the PPAPI platform on Windows (Mac support coming soon). Developers can now provide an enhanced and superior quality printing experience for their customers if they desire while bitmap printing is still fully supported.
- Hardware acceleration control for IE and Edge on Windows 8 & 10
With Flash Player 20, customers can now enable or disable hardware acceleration in Flash Player on Internet Explorer and Edge browsers for both Windows 8 and Windows 10. This feature, available in the Flash Player settings dialog, provides users a critical support option when encountering issues with their system’s video drivers.
