The usual link works, just fine, less the usual third party offerings »get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

I just prefer the direct installers without any third party nonsense per my link at the top.

Nothing officially posted on Adobe's site yet.

Whatever works for the user, providing there is sufficent warning & that's it's an Adobe Link, works for me.

Pick your poison

And they STILL haven't fixed the problem with Flash stealing focus from the Firefox window. It seems that the brilliant developers at Adobe coded a hack to put focus back on Firefox, but there's still a split-second where it's gone.

Argh!!!!!!! I think I will wait?

Release Announcement @ Adobe forums:

---

Today we're pleased to announce that the next version of Flash Player, 11.4.402.265, is available for immediate download. This update includes the following new features:

•Concurrency (ActionScript Workers) - This feature enable developers to off-load certain tasks like high-latency operations and long-running computations to “workers”. These background workers run concurrently in order to leverage more machine resources and avoid things like UI freezes and allow content to be more responsive.

• Stage3D constrained mode -A new parameter to Context3D has been introduced called "constrained profile". Constrained profile allows Stage3D content to run hardware accelerated on more hardware, especially the Intel GMA chipsets. The Starling framework has been updated to be constrained mode ready.

• StageVideo.attachCamera - Provides webcam support for StageVideo. This allows developers to leverage GPU acceleration to render webcam video streams.

• Camera.copyToByteArray/Camera.copyToVector - Allow efficient copy of the video frames pixels to an existing ByteArray or Vector.

• LZMA support for ByteArray - In addition to zlib compression of ByteArray, we are introducing an additional compression type based on LZMA to compress data inside a ByteArray through ByteArray.compress() and ByteArray.uncompress().

For further information please see our Release Notes.

These are almost semi-weekly, antdude you might as well slam it over top of the last one.

OK now that we have a change log I upgraded my main desktop. No issues yet.

Have updated 3 systems here without issue.

Sadly, it's the first version that breaks the Chronopatcher (v1.03) :/
Tested on the ActiveX/IE version.

This is the FullScreenPatcher.
