Flash Player 10.0.0.525 Beta with a few new things

Adobe just release a new version of Flash Player 10 beta (10.0.0.525) with a few new things :

* limited fullScreen Keyboard support
* unloadAndStop
* Wmode support for Linux

Limited FullScreen keyboard access

The restriction of keyboard support in fullScreen has been an annoyance to a lot of developers. In Flash Player 10 they are easing this restriction to allow non-printing keys to be used while in fullScreen. Non-printing keys are arrows, space, shift, tab and similar keys that can’t be used to provide private information.
Arrow keys on full screen mode is a good thing for papervision 3d games! They will finally be playable :D

unloadAndStop

To unload a loaded SWF and also remove references, stop audio and video and in every way possible just make it go away. Thank to Grant Skinner for this !

Wmode support for Linux

Cool ;)

Note : If you have started developing SWF10 content, you will need to re-compile older SWF10 to work with the new player.
