Adobe has announced that the next released version number of Flash Player will be 9 instead of 8.5.

I think this probably a good change, because it brings to light the importance of the new enhancements.

I for one am very excited for the release of AS 3.0/FP9. There is not enough time in a day to satisfy how long I just want to jump into Flex/AS3, but I suppose it won’t be long until it is released.

I must admit thoguh, I havent had the opportunity yet to check out Flex, although I have heard quite a bit about it.

A friend of mine and a very well-rounded flash developer; Kristopher Schultz was showing me a bit about AS 3.0 that got me excited, like the integration of regular expressions, I am not certain on how it will work, but I love where they are going with it.
