Fixing Flash Lite 3

Didn't know it was broken? Well, depends on who you talk to I guess. Even back when FL 3 was in beta, there were discussions flying around to do with the new security model that Flash Lite was "inheriting" from Flash Player 8, and that essentially we would find that backwards compatibility for many FL apps would be broken. For a recently posted developer's perspective, read Ugur's post here.

The MaD team have always been listening and through Bill have announced that there are some fixes coming along shortly. Aaprt from potentially fixing the issue Flash Lite developers have had with Flash Lite 3, it demonstrates Adobe's ability to change as a result of the combined community voice. It takes a lot to change, especially in the mobile world where the device vendors control such a large part of the ecosystem, so this is not an insignificant announcement. Thanks Adobe and MaD team.
