I am trying to make a WCF service that will use token-based authentication (so I don't have to send a username and password with every request) but I would like to keep the interface simple, ideally Basic HTTP(S), because I need to be able to call the service from Flash. It appears that the Issued Token authentication mode has to be use...

I'd like to assign a property ca...

I'm familiar with most of the Flash vs. Flex comparisons out there and most of them present some version of "Flex is better for RIA's while Flash is better for design work". Yet isn't it entirely possible to write elaborate RIA's using the URLLoader class + server side code? In this regard, I'm unclear as to what Flex offers aside from...

why are there dedicated ActiveScript editors, like FlashDevelop, if you cannot make SWF with them?

suppose I want to make a small SWF app, basically a couple of buttons, textboxes and event handlers. Something like this in C# or Java would be a single easily readable source code file that can be compiled with a freely available compiler and run.
