Multitouch - Adobe ActionScript® 3 (AS3 ) API Reference. SupportedGestures:Vector. <String> [read-only] A Vector array (a typed array of string values) of multi-touch contact types supported in the current environment. The array of strings can be used as event types to register event listeners. Possible values are constants from the GestureEvent, PressAndTapGestureEvent, and TransformGestureEvent classes (such as GESTURE_PAN). If the Flash runtime is in an environment that does not support any multi-touch gestures, the value is null. Note: For Mac OS 10.5.3 and later, Multitouch.supportedGestures returns non-null values (possibly indicating incorrectly that gesture events are supported) even if the current hardware does not support gesture input.
Use this property to test for multi-touch gesture support. Implementation public static function get supportedGestures():Vector.

As a Windows app, Internet Explorer runs without plug-ins so that you have a clean, fast, and secure web browsing experience, while also providing a native Adobe Flash player. By removing plug-in dependencies from their sites and opting instead for analogous standards-based technologies, web developers can benefit from better site interoperability and easier maintenance.
Here we offer guidance and strategies for preparing your sites and web applications for plug-in free browsing in IE. Plug-ins and the modern web From the early history of the web, browser plug-ins have played a vital role by enabling rich online multimedia experiences and complex web application functionality. Essentially, standards-based, plug-in free websites benefit: Going plug-in free Graphics. Developer Guidance for Web Sites with Flash Content in Windows 8 - IEBlog. Microsoft Has Changed Its Mind: Windows 8 IE Metro Renders Flash. In a surprising twist, Microsoft has made available Windows 8 Release Preview with support for Flash in IE 10 Metro and Desktop, both on x86 and ARM platforms. In September of last year, Steven Sinofsky, President of the Windows and Windows Live Division at Microsoft, declared in a special blog post that IE 10/Metro will provide a plug-in free experience, saying: For the web to move forward and for consumers to get the most out of touch-first browsing, the Metro style browser in Windows 8 is as HTML5-only as possible, and plug-in free.
The experience that plug-ins provide today is not a good match with Metro style browsing and the modern HTML5 web. Sinofsky also said in February that Flash won’t be supported on Windows 8 for ARM at all. We believe that having more sites “just work” in the Metro style browser improves the experience for consumers and businesses alike. CV list (xml) Windows 8, IE10, and Flash. This document is meant to serve as a resource for Brightcove customers and to help them understand how the release of Windows 8 will impacts video delivery on their sites. Note that Video Cloud only supports the default browser on the device (IE10) in the Windows 8 Modern UI. Overview Microsoft has now updated IE10 to support most Flash content. This means that your Flash-based Video Cloud players will now work normally in IE10. Note that Microsoft still "blacklists" a small number of sites using Flash, generally those that are incompatible with touch navigation or that rely on other ActiveX plugins.
Flash iFrame Delivery If Flash-based players do not work on your site for some reason, You will still be able to deliver video content in IE10. For those sites that are currently not using the Brightcove Smart Player, the embed code will have to be updated to a Smart Player embed in order for the iFrame to load. Understanding the Compatibility View List. Updated: March 2011 In recent versions, Windows Internet Explorer has dramatically improved support for established and emerging industry standards, such as HTML5, Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), Level 3 (CSS3), and Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG). By default, Internet Explorer properly displays webpages designed to support these standards. Because some of these standards are still evolving, older websites may not fully support them. In addition, later versions of certain standards specify different behaviors than earlier versions of the same standard. As a result, websites designed to support the earlier versions of these standards may display differently when viewed with web browsers designed to support current versions of the standards, such as Internet Explorer.
The following list describes different ways that enable Compatibility View: You click the Compatibility View button in the Address bar when viewing a webpage.

It’s worth noting that this commitment hasn’t changed, even given the short-term impact of our announcement to better align with Microsoft’s interoperability principles.
In other words, compatibility has been and continues to be a very important part of the Internet Explorer 8 feature set. With Beta 2 we’re announcing a brand new feature known as Compatibility View. In a nutshell, Compatibility View allows content designed for older web browsers to still work well in Internet Explorer 8. Compatibility View and End Users When a web site says that it supports modern web standards, Internet Explorer 8 respects that and displays the site using its most standards compliant mechanism.
In the majority of cases, this works out just fine. There are a bunch of changes under the hood, but the main points to know are – Sites on the public internet still display in IE8 Standards Mode by default. Summary. Windows 8.
