The Adobe® AIR® and Adobe Flash® Player Incubator is a technology preview program for more adventurous developers who are willing to experiment with Flash Platform runtime features that are in early development stages. Test the bleeding-edge capabilities of runtimes and contribute to the future of the Flash Platform. Please note that the capabilities in the Incubator builds may or may not be supported in future releases of the runtimes.
Adobe® AIR®和Adobe Flash®播放器Incubator是为了满足那些喜欢抢先试验Flash平台运行时(AIR & Player) 的开发者们的需要而发布的一个早期的预览版本。对开发者而言,这是一个公测的版本,但是同时也要注意,预览版里的功能和特征可能会与最终版本不同。
New features available in the current Incubator build include:
在目前的Incubator里包括如下特征:
“Molehill” 3D APIs for Flash Player and AIR — A new set of low-level, GPU-accelerated 3D APIs that enable advanced 3D experiences across devices through the Adobe Flash Platform runtimes.
运行时(Flash 播放器和AIR)集成了”Molehill” 3D API —— 这是一套全新的底层、支持GPU加速的3D API,这说明您可以通过Flash运行时的跨平台特性而在各种支持Flash的设备上体验到增强的3D感受。
Cubic Bezier Curves — Using the cubicCurveTo drawing API, developers can easily create cubic Beziers without requiring custom ActionScript code.
立方的贝赛尔曲线 —— 使用cubicCurveTo这一个新的画图API,开发者可以轻而易举地绘制立方贝赛尔曲线,(以前的解释有错误,经过验证,这是Graphics新增的一个方法, 可以按照两个绘制点来画贝赛尔曲线)
These are early builds of Flash Player or AIR and may not be as stable as a final release. However, the current released features should still work as expected. AIR applications should be for developer testing only, and Flash Player builds are not recommended for use in your default, daily-use browser. The availability of AIR and Flash Player and supported OS and platforms may vary on the downloads page between updates to this program.
这些功能只是作为早期预览版集成在Flash播放器和AIR中,可能并不会像正式版那样稳定。但是,那些已经被正式发布过的功能应该会比较正常的运行。各位如果用Incubator来做AIR 应用程序,那么最好只是用来测试,如果用于Flash播放器中,那么最好不要用在默认的和日常使用的浏览器里。关于运行时以及所支持平台的可行性信息会在下载页面中随着API的不关更新而经常变化。

Note: To help test and improve compatibility of hardware accelerated 3D features across different hardware configurations, the Incubator build includes an API that allows developers to determine a computer’s graphics card driver and version. This general developer API will be removed from the final release.
注意:为了帮助测试和提高3D硬件加速功能在不同硬件配置下的兼容性,Incubator集成了一个API,可以允许开发者来决定是否开启显卡并且按版本选择显卡。在最终的正式版中,这一功能将被移除。
