@detritus: Flash is going offline? What do you mean? I can't see it coming to xbox anytime soon. Swf will always be a web technology.
I'm interested in flash as an interface for developing for mobile. it seems technologies like Corona and Unity have really beaten them to the chase and it just amazes me that Adobe is so slow off the mark again.- Youve probably already seen it on your xbox.. http://www.scaleform…detritus

Flash has been used for game interfaces for years as a designer can easily make a protoype in flash, with the fact that you have a native vector platform speeding up the process even more. The sony xmb UI used on their devices even employs it i believe :)

any idea when updates to the iOS Packager are going to be released?

it's already working.. AIR 2.5 does work with iOS packager and Flash CS5 but better support for iOS should be available with when they release Flash CS 5.5. You can update your pfi application within Flash CS5 to get some new APIs though with the packager.

Oh, hey, finally I can watch a fullscreen video on one monitor while working on another, without having to resort to some registry hack?
Good. Long time 'acoming.
Still .. I don't care about IE9 hardware acceleration (HTML had it first on this platform... :), nor particularly tweaks to video pipes and I'm actively horrified by the potential abuses of easily-enabled cursor overrides (remember back in 2001?)... but I will concede that these features will be great for 'offline software' interfaces, like computer games and video menus and such.
Which is where, I hope, Flash is going.
Its rightful place, after all these years.
imfo, obviously.
