Nice: Flash Player 9 Update 3 & FMS 3 – But Where’s Air Beta 3?


I need to get H.264 in an Air app… Anyone have info when this will be possible? I have heard Air Beta 3 will address this, but there is no date set as far as I can tell. I have an HD video kiosk I’m working on, and would love to use a 100% Adobe solution… but at this time I’m going to have to rely on Multidmedia’s Zinc to compile an EXE to run WMVHD or H.264 through DirectShow…. clunky at best. If the upate to Air would come out, I could skip that entire mess and simply deploy an Air app.

    why can’t we use the NetConnection and NetStream class to make it work? I just tried what I did for a swf that only works in the html page. Is there some type of sandbox for air that prevents it from working in air?
