What’s tasty in Flash Player 10.1 Beta 3?

A few days ago Adobe launched a new beta version of its Flash Player 10.1. Including several important improvements and bug fixes, Flash Player 10.1 Beta 3 is definitely a pleasant release both for flash devs and users.

Beta 3 release probably brought the biggest piece of cake to owners of netbooks (at least to those with the Intel GMA 500 and Broadcom Crystal HD Accelerator graphics chipsets). As you might already know, the third beta provides better HD Web video streaming performance.

Early Web video tests conducted by numerous techi observers and enthusiasts, (Cnet test, Engadget test) show great results: both 720p and 1080p streaming videos play back quite smoothly. Of course, experts don’t hurry to call this an outright performance, but the progress is obvious and more is expected to come with the final release of Flash Player 10.1 later this year. If you still haven’t tried Beta 3 on your netbook, catch up and share your impressions in comments! One thing we’d like to caution you about is that you need to install updated drivers for the aforesaid chipsets before attempting playback after the player update.

FlashScope – New Marketplace in BETA

Flash Scope: New Flash Components Marketplace

Now beta, but will be betta!

We are glad to welcome you on FlashScope – a brand new marketplace, which was created to help designers, developers and people who seek to buy some flash components have an easy way to reach their goal. With FlashScope flash developers can promote and sell their products, without having any expenses connected with this. The only thing that needs to be done to start earning money is upload a product to our site, and we take care of the rest. We promote, advertise, attract customers to help you increase your sales. There is no registration or upload fee, and you can earn up to 70% from each sale.
You are also free to choose whether you want to sell only on our website, or not: and our non-unique products are not tied up to a low percent, like on other resources. If you decide to sell a non-unique product, you can earn 25%-70% depending on the number of your sales. But if you choose to sell your product only from our website, you start getting as much as 40% right from the first sale, and this percent GROWS all the time. As a member you can upload both unique and non-unique products, without any limits or restrictions.

FlashScope also aims to become a homepage for those who are looking for flash components: this is an all-in-one resource where people can easily find and buy flash files, receive help and leave their feedback on them. Our customers can always know how unique is the product they are buying and how good it is.

What you see now is only a beta version of the website, but the final one is coming soon. We welcome you to register, upload, buy, comment, and of course, let us know about the bugs you’ve found on the website, so that we can fix them. We appreciate your trust and help!

Flash components Marketplaces Analytics

Flash components Marketplace Analytics

Flashscope has prepared a little tidbit for you today! We’ve been evolving from a tiny blog and now we have a huge community of prominent flash developers from all over the world here at FlashScope! We’ve been pondering this a lot and finally decided to launch our very own marketplace of flash components! Since the decision we were doing lots of analytic work exploring existing marketplaces and weighing the pros and cons. Some of the information that we’ve came up with can be of a tangible value to our future customers.

We have explored top 5 sellers of the most popular marketplaces to determine which components are of a great demand at the moment.

The metrics that were used:

  • Product type – we did not pay attention to differences in functionality of the products, or their capabilities so we have grouped similar products under one category;
  • Sales – the time period for collecting sales data was different from site to site, but globally we were using monthly data in our analysis;
  • % Sales – this metric reflects the sales volume of each product in comparison with the total sales of all 5 top produts: %Sales = Product#1 Sales / (Pr#1 + Pr#2 + Pr#3 + Pr#4 + Pr#5);
  • Price – we have included the price for it is one of the decisive factors when purchasing a product.
