I mentioned some time back that I am doing some development work with Flash. It has given me a great opportunity to get a broader perspective on what Microsoft has accomplished with Silverlight (and WCF) and I would like to share some of the insights gained in my next few posts.
Naturally I will be making some comparisons between the technologies, but I will begin with a humble disclaimer.
I am not an expert on Flash and my experience with this one project is limited. If I do either technology an injustice, please feel free to comment and correct me. My objective is for us to learn by perspective, not to criticize.
I haven’t considered any particular order for these posts, but I will index them later if this leads to any confusion.
So, let’s begin.
My first post is about handling cross-domain policies from the Flash RIA. It’s easy to do with WCF as we will see.
