At FITC, during the keynote, we were really pleased to announce the March Flash Player penetration numbers. The full data is now available on on the Adobe website.
The numbers this quarter are excellent! As of mid-March, Flash Player 9 is now at 83.4% worldwide, and 84.5% in the United States! Paired with the launch of Flash CS3 Professional last week, this is very exciting new. This is the first time that on the first day that Flash Professional is available, enough of the web users have the current version of Flash Player that even pretty conservative sites can seriously consider exporting for Flash Player 9.

There are a lot of reasons to use Flash Player 9. ActionScript 3 opens up a whole new level of possibilities for development in Flash. Even when I think that things are pretty amazing, I go to a conference like FITC, and am completely blown away by the level of sophistication of the content and libraries being made in AS3.
Also, I want to thank everyone that came to the Flash Player 10 Feature request session; the requests and feedback were great! Everyone in the Flash Player team really appreciates the involvement from the community and we will try to get in as many features as we can!
thank you very nıce thankyou very very much…
Thanks Justin!
We periodically post our monthly Flash penetration numbers on our blog (http://www.unleashthewonder.com/blog) and this is very much in line with what EyeWonder has seen with ~5% growth each month for the last several months, though it looks like be slowing down slightly. Hopefully the CS3 release will jump start it back up again and we can get to 90% before summer’s end.
It was great meeting you at FITC and I know we will be in touch with questions/requests
Excellent job again on the CS3 presentation.

Feature request:
onScrollWheel support in Mac player! pretty please.
All macs come with a scroll mouse now (or scrolling track pad)
Hi there — do you know of any specifics in how penetration stays high when as far as I understand newly-shipped PCs don’t come with flash installed? So there’s an 18 month churn that in theory should reset the installed base? Or are some OEMs preinstalling Flash too?
I was doing some research on Flash and I found your article. Wow that number is pretty impressive.
Thanks for the information!
great article.
