Public tests new version of Flash player
Three months after promising big changes in its signature Web animation software, Macromedia has released a public test version of the Flash player.

Macromedia published on Tuesday morning the first public test, or "beta," version of the Flash 8 player, code-named "Maelstrom," on its Web site.

"This public beta is a prerelease version of the next major release of Flash Player," read the download site. "It is being made available for developers and consumers to test their content to ensure existing content plays back correctly and that there are no compatibility issues....Please help us ensure that this release will be of the highest quality by installing and using these players. Please let us know as soon as possible if you encounter any issues."

EcPercy will become famous soon enough

Already uninstalled. Once I installed this I was not able to get any flash videos to work. I ran their uninstall utility and it had one section where it was removing an "active-x" control. Now, I am using firefox 1.0.4 so that would probably explain why nothing was working.

To see if this also happens with flash 7, I uninstalled it with the same tool and nothing was mentioned about any "active-x" control.

I will sit this one out. I am not installing active-x support in firefox.

The new player installs and works great in opera 8.01.
