Adobe Roadmap for Flash 2012

Adobe has released a roadmap for Flash runtimes for 2012. This should calm the naysayers and hopefully people will be a bit more educated on this topic - instead of the usual "Flash is dead" mantra :-)

The basic premise of this is that Adobe are going to focus the future development of Flash on games (web and mobile) and video. They are offering increased hardware acceleration in Flash Player 11.2. A big focus for them is Air development for iOS and Android.

They are also going to be updating Actionscript 3 - this will be called Actionscript "Next" - this will be a smaller change than the change from AS2 to AS3. Let's see what they can offer in this regard.
