The latest version features SOAP support for Web services connectivity.Macromedia Inc. Thursday announced the immediate availability of its Macromedia Flash Player 7 for Solaris.
Officials at the San Francisco-based company said Macromedia Flash Player 7 offers better performance and provides a consistent cross-platform experience. It features SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) support for Web services connectivity and its support for CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) enables developers to blend HTML and Flash, officials said.
"Macromedia wants to ensure that Solaris users can experience the proven effectiveness of Flash on their platform of choice," said Jeff Whatcott, vice president of product management at Macromedia, in a statement. "More enterprise customers are using Breeze to improve their communications and Flex to deliver better application front ends. This release extends the reach of those applications to Solaris workstations."
