How to write component to upload files directly to Windows Azure Blobs?

Question

I've been experimenting with Windows Azure Blob storage using the samples using Silverlight.

I was wondering if it's possible to write a file upload component in Flash instead of Silverlight, since the former is installed almost everywere. I've never programmed in Action Script but I have a solid background in C# so that must not be hard.

Do you know any place where I can learn how to get it started?

Answer 1

You could alway upload the files to your web server and then have C# code upload them to Azure.

Additionally, the blob storage has a rest api so you could do it directly from flash, however I would be concerned about leaking keys to the public with such an implementation.
