The quest for the hardware acceleration

[AmiAction]

Hi everyone,

Having read somewhere about the upcoming CS5 that flash cs5 will be hardware accelerated for mobile only.
I would like to know if there are plan to make all flash graphics function hadrware accelerated.
Since time hardware acceleration for primitive drawings, sprites, blitter anc copper functions are available on every
graphic card (i.e. since 15 years the graphics card can handle 1024 hardware sprites). It is possible to accelerate all flash graphic pipeline
via hardware?

I would like to know what other flash users think about this.

Thank you
best regards

I don't think CS5 itself will have hardware acceleration, the iphone apps you produce with it may be able to use hardware acceleration.

The hardware acceleration momentum is growing up. Languages, such openCL and others, will take care of accelerating graphics operations. Using hardware acceleration in Flash could (among other things) open new doors and other market, where DirectX or OpenGl actually rules.

Just impressed by this google API: http://code.google.com/intl/it-IT/apis/o3d/docs/gallery.html

Could this api be available to AS3 too?

api? O3D? Papervision 3D can help with doing most of that kind of stuff in flash rather easily already.

I quite like what the guys/gals at Alternativa are doing: http://alternativaplatform.com/en/alternativa3d/

PS: @tad: SDK stands for "Software Development Kit" and not "Software Developers Kit" :)

hi everybody
I have a question so important for me

is there any way to enable / disable hardware acceleration without checking it from flash player's settings (for example : make bat file and call rundll.exe or user32.dll or any to do that if it's possible) ?

could anybody help me please ?

-fixed- Thanks :) (I never go to the first page)
What else did you notice about my site?

If the flash player record that setting somewhere, i think it's possible, yes.

oh man

that's all I wanna know

Done some search around the web. I found that the major software house are trying to put graphic accelerated web content everwhere. Google O3D is an example. The Kronos group, the group behind the OpenGL standard, is working on WebGL. I really wonder if the Adobe / Flash dudes are working on something similar. Anyone have insider information about this?
