Pope seems to have casually dropped this bombshell:
"One of the greatest new features is that we can now use masks over movie clips and movie clips can be masks!!!" Does that mean we can finally create dynamic masks instead of kludgy workarounds? Can it fianlly be true?!

Also, here are a couple of other questions you beta-testers can answer if you are allowed:
can you scroll anything in flash with the mouse scroll wheel in this release of the plugin? That has always been a major shortcoming, I thought, of Flash and DHTML scrollers.

Can you dynamically import a video? Do you have to import into the movie before being able to play it? What sort of info can you get from the video, if it's playing, if it's finished, where it is playing, how long, stuff like that? Oh, and can you do the same for audio, like MP3s? Did they update the audio controls and editing features?

Let's just storm MM and grab our copies now! I'll pay this instant for the upgrade!!
