MDM Zinc Mac OSX Updated to Support Adobe Flash Player 9, ActionScript 3 and Flex 2

Multidmedia Limited (MDM) announce details of an update to Zinc v2.5 which will now include Flash Player 9, ActionScript 3 and Flex 2 support for both Windows and Mac OSX Platforms.

Wolverhampton, UK (PRWEB) September 25, 2006 -- Multidmedia Limited (MDM) today announced the release of Zinc 2.5.0.18 for Mac OSX – an update of their industry defining title Zinc v2.5 which will now include ActionScript 3 and Flash Player 9 capability for both Windows and Mac Platforms.

The news follows on from a recent update to Zinc v2.5 for Windows, which included Flash Player 9 and Flex 2 capability. Adobe announced the availability of Flash Player 9 in June this year and it is hoped it will provide a more secure, lightweight, robust runtime environment for rich media and enterprise-ready rich Internet applications.

The update to Zinc will mean the IDE (Integrated Development Environment) will have the ability to specify which ActiveX flash control is bundled with the application, be it Flash 8 for legacy applications or Flash 9 for those on the cutting edge. With the new MDM proprietary SWC, users can now link into the MDM runtime using Flex and ActionScript 3 on both Windows and Mac OSX Platforms.

The updates to Flash and Zinc will mean that Developers can now deliver powerful and dynamic multimedia content and applications via ActionScript 3.0 and a new highly optimized ActionScript Virtual Machine (AVM). “Flash Player 9 is a huge step forward for Flash application development” commented MDM Software Engineer, Kevan Harriman. “With the sheer coding flexibility of Flex 2, highly optimized Flash Player 9 and the command API of Zinc, developers can create cross platform desktop applications like never before.”
