Adobe Systems Inc., on Wednesday announced a major update to its Flash Player 10 browser technology, featuring built-in 3D capabilities intended at empowering designers and developers to build Web sites with better video, audio, and graphics.

The latest version 10 was dubbed as Astro, which hardly arrived days after Microsoft released version 2.0 of its rival Silverlight software.

Adobe, in May introduced a beta version of this Flash, which was reinforced to include custom filters and special effects, native 3D transformation and animation, advanced audio processing and GPU hardware acceleration, Adobe said. It also consists of a new text engine meant to provide designers and developers with more text layout options.

?A great number of features in [Flash Player] 10 are all about providing interactive designers and developers unprecedented creative control,? said Tom Barclay, senior product marketing manager in Adobe?s platform business unit. ?Designers and developers...can transform and animate 2D content into the 3D space. That functionality is now exposed in the form of tooling in Flash Creative Suite 4 (CS4) to allow designers to do 3D transformation animation without having to write code.?
