14 DAY TRIAL // The beta channel for Adobe Flash Player has been updated to build 11.8.800.75. The fresh release introduces previously announced recursive stop on MovieClip feature.
This allows developers to stop or pause a running SWF much easier because iterating through all objects on the DisplayList is no longer necessary.
Apart from recursive stop on MovieClip, this revision also introduces support for larger 2D textures via the BASELINE_EXTENDED profile. The maximum texture size is now 4096x4096.
Obviously, this works only with hardware that supports such resolutions, so apps should have a fallback plan to use the regular BASELINE profile.
On the same note, RectangleTexture class has been added to the BASELINE profile, for support of non-power-of-two textures, which come in handy for lower memory usage when mipmaps are not needed.
The developer informs that this build also brings to the table stability and security improvements, although there are no specifics available. Check the full release log on this page.
