Just hours after Adobe released the Flash CS3 Air Compiler, they have released an update to the Flash Player.

Here is what got updated/added:

  • Support for H.264 video and HE-AAC audio codecs
  • Multi-core support for vector rendering.
  • Full screen mode with hardware scaling.
  • Flash Player cache…
  • more

Seems the Adobe Labs has been very busy these last few weeks.

Flash CS3 Professional Update, AIR support

Adobe has released a CS3 Update which now offers the ability to build AIR applications in Flash CS3. Now is the time, start developing some sweet AIR applications!

The Adobe® Integrated Runtime (AIR) update for Flash® CS3 beta 1 software will allow you to package and preview .air application files directly within Adobe Flash CS3; leveraging your existing Flash development skills to build desktop-enabled distributed applications and experiences with the Adobe AIR™ framework.

Better icons for CS3 programs

The CS3 icons have been a topic of discussion around the graphics world. Some like the stock icons, others find them to be a poor example from a creative company… I am with the latter on this one, the CS3 icons just aren’t a great thing, especially on the Mac OS X dock where there are so many great icons.

That being said, some others have built custom icon packs, such as a simple rounded rectangle and others that tie into the branding of CS3. Those new icons really do look nice on the dock, as shown here:

This is what the second option looks like, kind of harder to see a difference in at smaller sizes, but still cool:
