Flash Player 9 on Linux?   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #35381 of 149585 |
Hi,

This days I'm working mostly on Linux and was thinking about the next Flash Player for Linux. I now that there's no plans for Flash Player 8 and linux will jump to version 9 directly, but what's the expected dates?.

It's really important to have some visibility cause many of us are selling projects based on this platform and talking about ubiquity, but since Flash Player 8 is only in Windows and Mac, but no in Linux...this is not true, so please, could someone at Adobe talk a bit about what's happeing inside Adobe regarding this, and if there's someone working in a Flash Player for Linux. I think this is an extremely important topic that all of us at this list should know.

Thanks in advance for any insight.
