I want to build a silverlight web application that could installed on a user's computer. So any hosting requirements would be subject to whatever configuration the user has. What are there requirements to host a silverlight application? I need the same question answered for Flash and WPF.
Is it required that the .Net framework (or whatever Flash uses in that case) be installed on the machine? Obviously some webserver must be installed, what are the restrictions on the webserver for these three technologies?
i am working with Flex for quite sometime. but i hadn't get any chance to even look at Adobe AIR platform. I am planning to do some personal softwares using AIR.
Provided the background that am an absolute zero in AIR, what all should I have in my system apart from Flex builder? And how fast i can learn AIR if I am pretty comfortable in Flex?
I'm developing a Rich Internet Application. So far, I have been working on the database and middle-tier .Net for the application. I'm now starting to work on the front-end UI and was planning to use Silverlight, which I'm currently learning. However, based on recent news it looks like Silverlight might be a bad choice for a long-term application.
The application will be a complex user-interface based around social networking, but will involve a lot of animated elements, funky UI pieces and video/audio. what is the best technology to 'buy into' for this, given that it needs to be backed by a .Net 3-tier system?
I am ASP.NET developer & wright now I am working on Silverlight project. SinceSilverlight has few drawbacks like we can get Clipboard IMAGE data using silverlight application(however we can access Clipboard TEXT data from Silverlight), but this is not an issue with flash. We can access to clipboard image as well as text data using flash.
In Flash user can give permission to localhost and even local html file to access remote webservice.I fail to see the same thing for Silverlight which is a nightmare for testing on local pc.
i need a webpage (host on my website) that can play the following mp4 file either via silverlight 4 or flash[URL]..i tried various solution like flowplayer and silverlight but none of them work with the URL above. I can play the file fine using Windows media player or VLC.
For silverlight, i always get AG_E_NETWORK_ERROR exception within MediaFailed event. For flash, via flowplayer, IE page is just blank
Can someone tell me what am i missing? i am very frustrated as I have finished encoding, upload, cataloging my videos and now I am stuck at the last step.
I found Vectorlight which is quite good, but are there any tutorials or books about doing cool effects with silverlight. I'm after for resources focused more for a designing and presentation. Mostly the books about Silverlight is focused on doing boring business applications like making grids and forms.
I have to prepare a comparison between the following technologies to present it to my Project Manager, but I fell that I'm lost I want to compare between them in the following areas:the support of online video streaming the budget of using each one Learning Time will be needed to learn the technology Which one is the standard and will target a lot of users The support if I found any problem Bugs and security issues connection to DB, SOA and web services supporting of multi player
I am currently working on a windows phone project where i have test the compatibility and I do not know flash and Silverlight is supported or not on windows phone 7.3.
i have created a silverlight application , but i need to embed it to a Flash file(swf) which it runs with Flash Player ( whithout using browser), I had found a solutions to call it using javascript, but it still needs my flash file run inside the browser, dose any one can help me, Either to run js inside swf (without need of browser) or any other way that i can embed my Silverlight application inside Flash.
I'm trying to make a guitar practice website, and a critical functionality is to loop over very short mp3 files (a few seconds long), with absolutely zero gap in between. For example, it could a 4-measures-long chord progression, and I want to allow the user to loop over it seamlessly.
I tried using the HTML5 <audio> tag with the loop attribute. Google Chrome gives a small gap between the loops, but big enough to be totally unacceptable for my purpose. I haven't tested the other browsers, but I believe it won't work.A possible workaround is to use ffmpeg to stream repetitions the same audio as an mp3. However, this costs a lot of bandwidth.
For myself I use Audacity to loop without gaps, but unfortunately Audacity doesn't have a web version.So, do you have any ideas how I may loop over an mp3 in a browser with zero gap? I prefer non-Flash solutions, but if nothing else works I'll use Flash.
As it is said here: [URL] "If you do a Google search today for "MVVM and Flex", the first post is by somebody who claims that MVVM is not a good fit for Flex. I couldn't disagree more. Out of the box, the Flex framework makes it much easier to implement a Presentation Model than similar MVVM implementations in Silverlight. That is not to say that there aren't good third-party libraries that make it easier in Silverlight, but without any help, it is easier to do in Flex." So MVVM as LOGICAL CONCEPT can be implemented in both but the way it is implemented in Silverlight requires more Plumbing than Flex.
What prevents Silverlight MVVM to be implemented like Flex ? Doesn't Silverlight have same capability in event system to do the same? If yes why does Silverlight do things more complicated what's the advantages then ? Is it about using Class Interfaces which are more strongly typed? What are the disadvantages also ? For example as for implementing MULTIPLE VIEWS for 1 View-Model does Flex implementation make it also more obvious?
I am noticing a weird behavioral on some pages with flash file that loads XML in IE7 or IE8. If the browser is visible, the XML loads right after the flash. If the browser is minimized, while the load xml happens, it takes like 500 - 900 ms to load the XML. The same issue if its loading an image, say JPG.
This information must be on the Adobe site, but I've not had any luck tracking down the information... When creating a Mac and Windows projector in CS4, what are the minimum system requirements to open the created files on a Mac or in Windows?
I work on a project where FMS will be used as the main streaming server. We are going to use p2p/multicast technology which is available in FMS. My first question is : What are the approximate hardware requirements for such a server ? REMARK : this server will be connected to a switch with 1G/bits ports. If we use p2p/multicast technology the maximal number of users which the system can handle is (theoretically)unlimited, is this right ?
I had a project requirement which was to stream video to people across the globe (max 100 simultaneous connections) and i was under the impression that a single HTTP server is sufficient. However, a friend of mine said i will have to use an FMS server. How does this basically work ?
If i record video from my webcam and store it for future consumption, where will it be stored ? On my site server ? or on the FMS server What is so special about an FMS server ? Can i turn any server into an FMS server I read somewhere that streaming video via my own server does not allow the user to jump to a particular part in a video. Is this true If the requirement is to stream live video to people, how does this work ? Does the video from the source (webcam) get transferred to my server and then to the FMS server or directly to the FMS server I'm pretty confused about the FMS server concept and some articles or links would really help too, however your expert answers will be invaluable
I have exported a flash file as exe which works fine on my machine but when it is delivered to the client it does not work. Does a exe file require that the machine have a browser flash environment. I that everthing was packages in the exe.

I would like to know Adobe's Recommended system requirements for a PC running Flash Catalyst (not simply the minimum that are posted on this page: url...
I looked at this demo: [URL] Flex seems very slow compared to silverlight 3. Unfortunately can't see pure flash but should flex be forbidden if performance is top requirements compared to Flash ?
How to add accessibility requirements to a swf created using mxml+flex sdk? I have a few buttons and textfields in the swf and the impaired user should be able to increase the button size and text size while using the swf. I've looked into flex built-in accessibility features, but its not what I require. I want to run the swf standalone without a browser, so preferably change the size with a visual widget.
I am trying to find Adobes detailed hardware requirements for Flash Media Server 3.5 - The base one on site is too vague i.e. what is the storage requirements i.e. Raided harddrives - how many? Do we need something more robust i.e.SAN Want to support 500 concurrent streams @ 700kb.
There is a number of Flash and AJAX based uploaders around. I need a file upload component for an existing form in an existinc application, so I have very specific requirements for it. Maybe somebody knows one off the top of their head and saves me a lot of research.
I need a file upload component that has a progress bar and "upload" button next to it (= standalone functionality, no connection to the submit event of a surrounding form).
It should be either Flash or Prototype based. No JQuery or Moo, as the app runs with prototype.
If server-side scripting is needed, it must be PHP. No Perl, no ASP.
On successful upload, I need a custom Javascript function triggered. (I need to update a file list that is displayed on the same page.)
The possibility of filtering file names before upload (no Umlauts, spaces..) would be a plus.
I will try to give this question a bounty in a minute if I'm allowed to.
Edit: I can't seem to open a bounty. Do I have to wait first?
Does anyone know of a way to obtain information about the environment that a SWF is served into? Things like the URL of the page that is hosting the SWF?
So say there's the URL [URL] which has the movie flashmovie.swf embeded in it ... is there a way to get the URL from inside flashmovie.swf and cast it into a string datatype?
I've been picking apart the _global object by recursively un-hiding it and the objects it holds properties, but so far have not come up with anything that could prove useful.
