New features in Flash Player 11.8
Flash Player 11.8 includes new features as well as enhancements and bug fixes related to security, stability, performance, and device compatibility. The key features and benefits of Flash Player 11.8 are:
Support for recursive stop on MovieClip()
It is common for developers to build games comprised of many externally-loaded SWF files containing multimedia assets (either from an application package or downloaded from the internet). Often, these SWFs contain MovieClips that begin playing after they are loaded. On mobile platforms, in particular, there is significant CPU overhead in processing these playing MovieClips even when they are not visible, and it has long been our recommendation to developers to call the stop method on all unnecessary MovieClips after loading a SWF. The new stopAllMovieClips method of DisplayObjectContainer is intended to provide an easier way to accomplish this. It will stop the timeline animations of all MovieClip objects that are descendants of the corresponding DisplayObjectContainer, in addition to the DisplayObjectContainer itself, if it also happens to be a MovieClip.
RectangleTexture class added to Stage3D
The RectangleTexture class is available in the BASELINE and BASELINE_EXTENDED profiles. Unlike a Texture, RectangleTexture allows for non-power-of-two dimensions, but does not support mipmapping, compressed textures, or the 'wrap' sampling mode. It supports the following texture formats: BGRA, BGR_PACKED and BGRA_PACKED. It is intended to be used for 1:1 screen drawing, including backbuffer-sized blits. The maximum size is at least 2048 in the BASELINE profile and 4096 in the BASELINE_EXTENDED profile, or the size of the backbuffer, whichever is greater.
