Flash Player 9 Public Beta

Welcome to the Flash® Player Public Beta. This Public Beta is a pre-release version of the next release of Flash Player software. It is being made available for developers and consumers to test their content to ensure existing content plays back correctly and that there are no compatibility issues.

The purpose of this beta is to gather your feedback so that Adobe® can verify that:

  • The new Flash Player is compatible with existing content.
  • Developers have an opportunity to test their content and applications prior to the product release to help identify bugs on a variety of machines and configurations.

This release is for Windows® 98 and later and PowerPC-based Mac® OS X 10.1 and later (see the System Requirements). Please help us ensure that this release will be of the highest quality by installing and using these players. NOTE: Flex 2.0 beta users should install the version of Flash Player available from Adobe Labs.

Step 1. Read the FAQ.
Step 2. If you have Flash Player 7 (7.0.63.0) or Flash Player 8 (8.0.24.0) installed, you will need to uninstall your existing player before installing the Flash Player Public Beta. Uninstallers are provided below, and more information on uninstalling Flash Player can be found in Tech Note 15511.
Step 3. Download the Flash Player Public Beta below. Installing the Flash Player Public Beta means you have accepted the terms of the End User License Agreement.
Step 4. Send us your feedback and bug reports (English only).

Please let us know as soon as possible if you encounter any issues. It's important to verify that your content and the content on websites you frequently visit work correctly with the upcoming version of Flash Player.

Thank you,
The Adobe Flash Player Team
