Flash Player 8 Public Beta

Posted on Tuesday, July 12, 2005 in the Flash category.

Macromedia has officially announced the Flash Player 8 Public Beta. Please test your current applications, sites, etc. with the new player. The beta introduces a new update mechanism, which seems to be based off of the Central installer (very very easy). Don’t worry about it screwing up your browser (being a beta and all), as it comes with an uninstaller. Once done testing, submit feedback to Macromedia. They listen, trust me.

Things to Test

Check all of your client sites. Check all of your applications. Check all of your daily visited sites, make sure all Flash content works as before. Getting these bugs fixed now, ensures that the final product will be that much better.
