Hello flexcoders,
After I read the following quote from David Mendels from his email to
Flexcoders from
09/Jan/2006:
-
if you are planning to ship say, in the 2nd half of this calender year,
it *may* be in your interest to ultimately build with Flex
2 things:
- Flash 8.5, not 9
- a lot of us deploy on intranets, not on the internet, so having Flash
Player 8.5 manually installed and/or updated isn't a problem.

Furthermore, the penetration rates will supposedly climb faster than ever
before; we'll have more data soon as the December results come in:
- those who installed Flash Player 6.0.65.0 and above have the ability for
the players to update themselves without having to leave the webpage the
user
To add to Jesse's response... The generated .html file checks for the 8.5 player now... and if it's not there it will (in the future) take about 1 minute... for the player to update itself? Just because it has low market penetration when it gets released doesn't mean much if you can seamlessly

For me, Flash 8.5 player (targeted for developers only) or
There is no such thing as Flash Player 9.
As far as Flash Player 8.5, yeah, I see your point. Still, I think adoption
rates for it will be extremely higher than past ones based on the 2 main
updating features, 1 of which developers can employ themselves.

Andy,
I think you misunderstand. There is no flash 9 announced or anywhere
on the publicly known horizon. 8.5 will be released to the public this
spring. There IS NO FLASH 9. Presumably there will be a flash 9 at
some point but speculating about it when there is an imminent release
of a version
Jesse.. does that mean that if a user has flash player 6 or later that you don't need admin rights to install a newer version of the flash player?On 1/26/06,

Negative, 6.0.65.0's System.Product install ability
still needs admin rights.
The experience, however, for the average user
isa lot more seemless, brainless, and painless.

There was mention of a Flash 9 by Mike Downey on Sept 27th 2005.

Flash 9 is the authoring tool.
Flash Player 8.5 is the Player.
Flash Player 8.5 has features that will be used by Flex. Since Flex is
targeted at 'Developers' instead of 'Designers' we consider the Player
to have 'developer-oriented' features (like the new VM) instead of
'designer-oriented'
Flash 9 is referring to the Flash IDE, beta named Blaze.
The Flash Player 9 has not been announced anywhere, and if it has, they are
referring to the SWF's that Flash 9 will create, or the player team
peering into the future, looking for feature requests.
...I'm still learning 8.5 dang it...
