I would also really like to know what Adobe is thinking here. They release these new players, but there's NO updates to Flash CS 5.5 to include the ability to compile to these latest releases. How are we supposed to take advantage of these new features if we are unable to compile them in Flash CS 5.5? Why does Adobe not also release an update to Flash CS 5.5 when they update the Flash Player? And if someone tries to tell me that I need to go through an 8-10 step process in order to make that happen, I'm calling BS on it because there's no reason it shouldn't be a simple application update from Adobe...
"Hey everyone, here's a new version of Flash Player that has all these cool new features! What's that? You still don't have support for anything past 10.2 in Flash CS 5.5? Yeah, we didn't update the developer tools so you can compile to the latest and greatest. Too bad."

Seriously though, if anyone has any viable suggestions that allow us to get these new features into Flash CS 5.5, please let me know as I'd love to start taking advantage of them...
