With possibly an indication that a new or updated version of Macromedia Flash might be around the corner, Macromedia have released a BETA version of their next Flash Player 7.
The Player is available for Windows, OS9 and OSX, but is still under development and might contain a number of software bugs and require fixes.
A copy of the Beta Plug-in, FAQ‘s and release notes can be downloaded and viewed from the Macromedia website.
