If Adobe really wanted to deliver 100% coverage they could compile for all the 64 bit architectures today. I can't imagine it is more than setting a switch or swapping a library, but I guess Adobe doesn't feel the need.
- wmf 16y ago64-bit Flash Player needs an x86-64 JIT, which isn't just setting a switch.
- tlack 16y agoI don't doubt you (you surely know more about this than I do), but I would think that most of Flash's actual horsepower usage would go straight into the low level graphics engine - tweens, displaying sprites, boundary boxes. Is there really so much complex ActionScript out there that a JIT is needed on absolutely all platforms?
- amackera 16y agoThe entire event model has been shifted from Carbon to Cocoa, which means a huge headache for their code. Not to mention a horrendous mess of new drawing models. The NPAPI is a dated, ancient, neglected API that gets more difficult to work with the longer it exists. Having said that, Adobe is a billion dollar company with a team of engineers working on Flash. There's no real excuse why they can't deliver on this.
