Flex-coders, and Matt Chotin, I requested this during the Flex2 beta, and there's no doubt from the Interview with Ryan Steward with Mike on ZDNet http://blogs.zdnet.com/Stewart/?p=234 shows that Flash Player 8 integrates OpenGL on Mac.

Just do a Google on "OpenGL" and you'll find all sorts of information about it - I mean a lot of good information from low-level API's to support on OS's. http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/opengl/ http://www.opengl.org/ Why have a special little viewer that isn't a browser for Apple -- let's develop Flex apps. that run as Flash in any cross-platform browser. There is even OpenGL for Linux in various flavors, including, http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/OpenGL :-] Cheers. I'm looking forward to whenever this is integrated into the FLEX framework, not just a graphics enhancement to the Flash engine; but actual 3D Models. Shockwave is just too legacy IMHO, we need the efficient AIR and FLEX teams to re-do a simpler framework than Mickekysoft's DirectX which I've programmed and it's quite tedious. Works great when done, but I believe AIR/Apollo has the greatest potential I've seen in 20 years since college. Great Job Mike.

Flex-coders, and Matt Chotin,

Just do a Google on “OpenGL” and you’ll find all sorts of information about it - I mean a lot of good information from low-level API’s to support on OS’s.
