Download Adobe Flash Player 14.0.0.125 & AIR 14.0.0.110

Adobe has released version 14 of Flash Player and the Integrated Runtime. With Adobe Flash Player it is possible to play Flash content, mainly swf files, on the computer. Popular video sites such as YouTube and Google Video, among others, offer their visitors the opportunity to play videos with the stand-alone Flash Player. Adobe AIR provides a cross-platform environment for developing and playing so-called Rich Internet Applications. The release notes for this release can be found below.

New Features

• AnisotropicFiltering
  This new texture sampling filter can enhance the image quality of textures on surfaces that are at oblique viewing angles. There are two ways to enable this feature:
  In AGAL, ​​set one of the values ​​– “anisotropic2x”, “anisotropic4x”, “anisotropic8x”, or “anisotropic16x” to the filter option in the sampling instructions.
  Call Context3D::setSamplerStateAt with the 3rd parameter “filter” being one of the values ​​defined in Context3DTextureFilter – “ANISOTROPIC2X”, “ANISOTROPIC4X”, “ANISOTROPIC8X”, or “ANISOTROPIC16X”
• New Stage3D “Standard” Profile
  Developers can now request this high level profile when creating Context3D. Three new features are available in this profile:
  Multiple render target allows to you to draw geometry to multiple outputs (up to 4) during one drawing
  Floating point texture allows you to create Texture, RectangleTexture and CubeTuxture with the RGBA16F folder.
  AGAL v2 contains these improvements:
  • Increased register size
  • partial derivative instructions
  • Fragment depth output
  • Conditional forward jump
• Intel x86 Android Support
  As announced in our Flash Runtime blog, we’re adding support for Intel x86 Android to AIR. An ADT command line option (-arch) has been added to allow packaging apps with Android x86 support.
  Please note that currently only captive runtime packaging is allowed for x86 architecture. This means all APK targets (apk, apk-debug and apk-captive-runtime) will forcibly be packaged with captive runtime. Feedback on this approach is encouraged.
• Improved Packaging Engine – iOS
  Based on the feedback recieved from the developer community, tons of improvements and bug fixes have been made in the new packaging engine for iOS. We encourage developers to report issues to http://bugbase.adobe.com, to ensure that we are able to continue to improve the packager in future releases.
• AIR Gamepad
  AIR Gamepad feature enables the app developers to provide a second screen on Android mobile devices for the Flash based browser games. AIR Gamepad API enables Flash based browser apps to connect to a paired Android device running the AIR Runtime app and therefore allowing the Android devices to be used as game controllers or second-screen interfaces.
