Flash Player 9 above 90% limit
Tonight, Adobe published the latest Flash stats, showing that as of June 2007, the Flash Player had more than 90% reach. From today, Flash Player 9 and AS3 should be the preferred format for publishing Flash content.
The latest Flash stats shows that Flash Player 9 is reaching the magical limit of 90% distribution - a number sought by many content providers. Mature markets, US and Europe are just above 90%, Asia is just below. The numbes are just as expected, but it also means that since this number is from June 2007, Flash player 9 should be well above 90% since the time of this survey.
This means that there is no more excuses to not learn Actionscript 3 and reap the benefits of the speed increases in Flash Player 9. Keep in mind that Flex 3 will be fully based on actionscript 3 and the Flash Player 9, so this is the standard for the months to come (and there's more fun just around the corner...)
