I know this beta is for testing compatibility of existing applications and movies, but we have to confess, everyone want to know some new features in new Maelstrom player. So test your application, and in coffee break you can read about or play with new features.

What other people found out: Must change version of swf to 8 (through HEX editor)

• Den Ivanov
  • Progressive JPG, GIF and 24Bit PNG with transparency loading support
  • antiAliasType
    filters
    gridFitType
    sharpness
    thickness
  • MovieClip.BlendModeType

    BlendModeType
    HARDLIGHT, OVERLAY, ALPHA, INVERT, SUBTRACT, ADD, DIFFERENCE, DARKEN, LIGHTEN ,SCREEN, MULTIPLY, LAYER, NORMAL

• Paul Neave [via Flashcoders]

• Iteration through the ‘flash’ object after seeing it in demos:
  [as]
  for (var i in flash) {
  msg_txt.text += “\nflash.”+i+” = “+ flash[i] +”\n”;
  for (var j in flash[i]) {
  msg_txt.text += ” “+ j+” = “+ flash[i][j] +”:”;
  var obj = new flash[i][j];
  for (var k in obj) {
  msg_txt.text += k + “, “;
  }
  msg_txt.text += “\n”;
  }
  }
  [/as]

  Here are the results:

  [as]
  flash.external = [object Object]
  ExternalInterface = [type Function]

  flash.net = [object Object]
  FileReferenceList = [type Function] : _listeners, fileList
  FileReference = [type Function] : _listeners, creator,creationDate, modificationDate, size, type, name

  flash.geom = [object Object]

  Transform = [type Function]

  ColorTransform = [type Function] : toString, concat, rgb,blueOffset, greenOffset, redOffset, alphaOffset, blueMultiplier,
  greenMultiplier, redMultiplier, alphaMultiplier

  Matrix = [type Function] : toString, transformPoint,deltaTransformPoint, scale, translate, rotate, identity, clone, createGradientBox, createBox, invert, concat, tx, ty, b, c, a, d

  Point = [type Function] : toString, normalize, add, subtract,equals, offset, clone, length, x, y

  Rectangle = [type Function] : toString, equals, union, intersects,intersection, containsRectangle, containsPoint, contains, offsetPoint,offset, inflatePoint, inflate, size, bottomRight, topLeft, bottom,top, right, left, isEmpty, setEmpty, clone, x, y, width, height

  flash.filters = [object Object]

  DisplacementMapFilter = [type Function] : clone, alpha, color,mode, scaleY, scaleX, componentY, componentX, mapPoint, mapBitmap

  ColorMatrixFilter = [type Function] : clone, matrix

  ConvolutionFilter = [type Function] : clone, alpha, color, clamp,preserveAlpha, bias, divisor, matrix, matrixY, matrixX

  GradientBevelFilter = [type Function] : clone, type, knockout,strength, quality, blurY, blurX, ratios, alphas, colors, angle, distance

  GradientGlowFilter = [type Function] : clone, type, knockout,strength, quality, blurY, blurX, ratios, alphas, colors, angle,
  distance

  BevelFilter = [type Function] : clone, type, blurY, blurX,knockout, strength, quality, shadowAlpha, shadowColor, highlightAlpha,
  highlightColor, angle, distance

  GlowFilter = [type Function] : clone, strength, blurY, blurX,knockout, inner, quality, alpha, color

  BlurFilter = [type Function] : clone, quality, blurY, blurX

  DropShadowFilter = [type Function] : clone, hideObject, strength,blurY, blurX, knockout, inner, quality, alpha, color, angle, distance

  BitmapFilter = [type Function] : clone

  flash.display = [object Object]
  BitmapData = [type Function]

  flash.text = [object Object]
  TextRenderer = [type Function]
  [/as]

If you know more, let us know

Enjoy.
