This update contains the following new features:
  • Graphics: Buffer Usage flag for Stage3D

Adobe has added a new enum Class called Context3DBufferUsage which defines two constants, STATIC_DRAW (default) and DYNAMIC_DRAW.  These constants specify how buffers will be used in Stage3D.  Adobe has also added a new parameter, called “bufferUsage”, to the constructors of VertexBuffer and IndexBuffer.  This “bufferUsage” parameter uses one of the constants form Context3DBufferUsage, which will allow you to select the appropriate buffer type according to your needs.

  • Stage3D Creation of Context3D with Profile Array
Adobe has added a new interface to Stage3D.requestContext3DMatchingProfiles(profiles:Vector. ) which will create a Context3D with highest level suitable profile that is in profile array, based on the current hardware.  A developer can check the newly added property ‘profile’ to obtain the current profile that was chosen by the Flash Runtime.
  • Internet Explorer 11 on Windows 7 Support

Microsoft has released IE 11 on Windows 7 and we now officially support this combination in Flash Player 12
