Convert Flash to Silverlight: Electric Harmony

In the midst of all the discussions about the relative benefits and weaknesses of Flash and Silverlight, comes this conversion tool. A Colorado based company called Electic Rain is bringing out a product called Electric Rain Harmony that converts Flash SWF files to XAML. Read more about this here:

Electric Rain Harmony provides designers and developers with a fast and easy way to convert existing Flash SWF files (graphics and simple animations) into Microsoft-based XAML mark-up for immediate use in the Microsoft WFP and Silverlight (formally WPF/E) platforms.
Harmony not only eases the pain of repurposing Flash assets into XAML, it also helps designers learn the XAML syntax and mark-up structure by illustrating how graphics and animations are translated from the popular Flash SWF format into the new XAML format. By deconstructing how XAML mark-up builds, displays, and plays animations in context to Flash, Harmony accelerates the understanding and learning surrounding XAML and WPF graphics and animations.

Harmony will be available in the summer of 2007 and sold through the website www.erain.com
This makes the conflict between Adobe and Microsoft more interesting. Flash is the major owner of this market which is being challenged by Microsoft through Silverlight.
People are hesitant to switch technologies unless they have a level of confidence. If they are able to see existing Flash SWF files getting easily converted without a loss of the look and feel as well as the functionality, it will make them feel easier about using Silverlight.
