- deadbaby, on 10/12/2007, -1/+35Don't worry, we'll think of something.
- Phocion55, on 10/12/2007, -1/+33When Flash 10 will come out.
- asdfasdf, on 10/12/2007, -1/+21So does this mean we on Linux can finally watch videos on YouTube and Google video (hell, ANY flash!) without the A/V going out of sync?
- redhatcat, on 10/12/2007, -0/+14When the x86_64 or PPC version of any flash player for GNU/Linux will be available.
- kapstaad, on 10/12/2007, -0/+14Shoulda said this earlier, but anyone wanting a 64-bit version should go to...
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform
...and request it. - Burritosupreme, on 10/12/2007, -3/+16We will finally be able to view swarm on linux.
I like swarm, does anyone else? - masticate, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13We can always bitch about Flash support for BSD's.
- eklass, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12according to an interview , the switch to ALSA is supposed to fix this
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+13I have lysdexia. :)
- tvidas, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9XP 64 bit is the same way. To use flash / shockwave / etc you have to use the 32 bit browser. :-(
- MisterCookie, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Yea, I believe he stated in a previous post that the A/V sync issue has been completely fixed.
- LanEvo, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7no...but you already can by changing version numbers.
- benplaut, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6So... digg labs tools work just fine in flash 7 (with version number changed)... why not make it require flash 7, then just give a warning 'some features may not work,' although i haven't yet found anything not working...
- hass, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6Great news.. One less reason to boot into Windows!
- kapstaad, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Since you ask... I dunno what all the other Linux users will bitch about, but I will probably bitch about STILL not being able to see ANY Flash, unless v.9 happens to finally have a 64-bit build available. Like this: It's just *ridiculous*. I mean, how long have 64-bit architectures have been around now? There must be tens of thousands of 64-bit desktops out there, and we still have no 64-bit version. It's not that I need a 64-bit app for performance; 32-bit Flash WONT INSTALL on a 64-bit machine (yes I've seen a few hacks that allow certain Linux variants like Debian to run the 32-bit version, but they aren't workable in my environment).
- peregrine, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5Thank you gods of linux. Today the Ati 200m finally worked. The damn Broadcom Airforce wireless drivers work and my god it seems in a few days I can enjoy flash bliss.
Thank you oh thank you.
(Btw I know I bought the equivilant of 'ANTI-linux' laptop but it wassuch a good deal.) - t3hSmartKid, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3'Bout Time.
- RWTechgage, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Sweet. This process is happening faster than I expected. Can't wait to get ahold of the beta, especially considering how 'stable' they say it is at this point.
- Phocion55, on 10/12/2007, -4/+6"At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought."
- c0uchm0nster, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2One could argue that since Flash 9 is already out of beta on Windows that it is the "Flash 9 for Linux" version that is in beta... if one wanted. (note the developers themselves call it Flash Player 9 for Linux)
- sfacets, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2...but not for PPC. The lazy bastards.
- jbus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I too am looking forward to the beta. However, I don't think that Adobe's justification for not releasing an alpha holds any water. As Linux users we have be stuck with alpha quality software with Flash 7 for Linux for quite some time now, for which adobe has received many complaints and bug reports. Adobe doesn't seem at all concerned that we have been using this buggy software for ages, but now we are supposed to believe they are concerned about exposing us to bugs in an alpha of Flash 9?
If Adobe is worried about too many bug reports, then they should make it clear that they aren't accepting bug reports. It's clear to us that Adobe is hell bent against getting any help from the community (even if it's just bug reporting) so this isn't much of a surprise.
Nevertheless, this is not a reason to further extend the Flash hell that Linux users are going through at the moment. I for one am more then willing to set aside my age old Flash 7 bugs in exchange for some fresh flash 9 alpha bugs, and I'm sure there are many others who feel the same. - simd, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1You were modded down, I expect, because you were ranting.
- Jon20usa, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2+1 for you. I requested it. Anything to help the Linux community become better.
- closer9, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Thanks for the link... requested :-)
- frazras, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I predict flash 10 coming out just before Vista... that should be sometime in 2008
- CharlesDarwin, on 10/12/2007, -9/+3I do not.
- Darqfaux, on 10/12/2007, -8/+1Yeah, swarm rox! Although I would like it to be easier to tell which story is growing.
- Daisuke, on 10/12/2007, -12/+2@Phocion55: ... for Windows users only. ;)
- Cablito, on 10/12/2007, -11/+1-1 dig already, guess a linux fanboy who can't admit flash runs smoother on Windows
- Cablito, on 10/12/2007, -11/+0I just hope they do a performance oriented code, because only linux fanboys don't see the linux version is way slower than the WindoZe version.. god i hate fanboys that use M$ and WindoZe in their posts, just used to point out how ridiculous it is.
Anyway, you can notice the lag on flash game (kids love them). - mrmidgetman, on 10/12/2007, -16/+1please tell me this means no more linux users whining in the comments.
- DjViper, on 10/12/2007, -24/+3To poster: Flash 9 BETA for Linux coming soon.
What is Linux beta anyway? :P - strictnein, on 10/12/2007, -40/+4But what will Linux users have to bitch about everytime Flash is mentioned?
