Download Adobe Flash Player & AIR 24.0.0.186

Adobe has released version 24 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

• Spherical video support in Flash and AIR Spherical videos support is added to both Flash Player and AIR from version 24 onward. Spherical videos have a specific meta-data attached to them, which can now be retrieved using the new property provided by the feature. This feature supports equirectangular projection type of videos conforming to This feature is supported on Desktop and Android devices.
• Separate HTTP and HTTPS permissions for Camera and Microphone To provide users with a better control over their camera and microphone data, Flash Player now provides a more fine-grained control over how permissions are granted. Users can now allow camera and microphone access for a domain when that content is served over HTTPS, and disallow the access when content from the domain is served over HTTP. These settings will be visible in the Global settings Manager.
• Improved support for high resolution displays on Firefox for Windows Beginning with Flash Player version 24 and Firefox version 51 on Windows, Flash content will now scale appropriately on high resolution displays.
• Swipe Velocity for Android and iOS Starting AIR 24, AIR Developers can read the velocity property for Swipe events on Android and iOS to estimate strength of the swipe. This value will be in pixels per second.
• Android SDK Upgrade Beginning with AIR 24, Android SDK (API Level 24) has been upgraded in the AIR Runtime. Important: If you upload an app on Google Play using AIR SDK 24 and default targetSdkVersion value as 24 in the application descriptor, Google Play does not allow uploading the next version of your app with AIR SDK 23 or earlier (see the error message below) . Using targetSdkVersion value as 21 allows you to switch between AIR SDK 24 and AIR SDK 23 for your app updates.
