The distribution of the Flash player is remarkable \u2013 by many accounts, it is the most widely installed piece of software in the world! However, the rate at which folks switch from one version of the player to the next <a href=\"http:\/\/macromedia.com\/software\/player_census\/flashplayer\/version_penetration.html\">is not as fast<\/a> as some of us would like.<\/p>\n<p>When developing a Flash site, we take a serious look at the number of people who have a particular version of the Flash player installed before deciding on which version we\u2019re going to develop for. We didn\u2019t feel comfortable developing for Flash 7 until the beginning of this year, when about 80% of a site\u2019s visitors could be expected to have that version installed. You can\u2019t expect everyone to have the \u201clatest and greatest,\u201d nor can you wait forever, so you make a compromise. We typically wait six months to a year before using the latest version.<\/p>\n<p>Well it\u2019s going to be a long six months to a year this time around, because <a href=\"http:\/\/kaourantin.net\/2005\/08\/from-12-to-24-layers-and-other.html\">the advances in Flash 8<\/a> are nothing short of amazing. For Mac users, in particular, performance will finally be on par with Windows users. And there are so many new visual effects it\u2019s kind of a designer\u2019s dream come true.<\/p>\n<p>Here at Needmore, we really can\u2019t wait for it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here at Needmore, we really can\u2019t wait for it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":8920,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[97],"acf":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/needmoredesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/e-f\/flash.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/needmoredesigns.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2132"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/needmoredesigns.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/needmoredesigns.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/needmoredesigns.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/needmoredesigns.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2132"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/needmoredesigns.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2132\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/needmoredesigns.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8920"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/needmoredesigns.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2132"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/needmoredesigns.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2132"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/needmoredesigns.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2132"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
