Comsharp CMS writes: Since Silverlight 1.0 was released, WEB development and designers have started arguing about the choice of Flash and Silverlight, and in the face of sophisticated Flash, Silverlight faces the challenge of how to win the market. However, Silverlight contains a number of features that developers have always wanted Flash to have, such as SEO, and this article makes a detailed comparison of the technical details of flash and Silverlight.
Animation features
Flash uses frame based animation patterns, in frame-by-animation mode, where we create objects for each frame and generate animation sequences. For example, if you want an object to pass through the screen in 3 seconds, calculate the total number of frames in 3 seconds, and then compute the matrix needed for each frame. However, Flash does not actually play at the set frame rate, unless you insert a blank track in the animation.
Silverlight is based on the WPF animation model, WPF is based on timelines, not frames, you define the beginning of the end state, WPF helps you calculate what to do in the middle, do not have to deal with the matrix like Flash, and do not have to calculate the location of different frame objects.
