Client Side File Access - Coming to a Flash Player Near You!

Posted by: shaun in Silverlight, Flash 10, Client Side File Access

That’s right, according to the latest word from Adobe, we will soon be able to both load files from the client machine into the Flash runtime as well as save files back to the desktop from the runtime.

This is a great example of how Silverlight is making Flash a better product. Microsoft came out with this feature, in my mind the only one-up it had on Flash, and now Adobe is forced to follow suit. Competition is good.

So offer up a big thank you to Microsoft for improving Flash and enjoy that fact that you will no longer have to upload files to the server just so you can download them again (sheds a tear for all of the bandwidth and time that will be saved)!
