Hi this is the content u r looking for

Flash Silverlight
Timeline animation in Flash is frame based. It uses transformation matrix. Silverlight uses timeline (vector) based animation.

Flash uses a 3rd party library to store shapes Silverlight uses XAML.
Flash supports multiple video formats/codec’s, however the output is proprietary Silverlight uses an industry standard codec

Flash content can be created by using Adobe Flash. To create Silverlight content, you can use your existing tools like Visual Studio. Another dedicated tool is Expression Blend

As a programming model, ActionScript has a huge learning curve and is not a common programming skill found in developers. Silverlight has been developed from ground-up using the languages you are already familiar with as a .NET developer. Silverlight content can be created using XAML and a .NET language. This way, you can utilize your existing skills.

Flash provides with 2D animation graphics. So does Silverlight

The cost of Media server licensing in Flash is more. The cost is much lesser than Flash

Full screen video capabilities (720p) not available Scalable full screen video available up to HD (720p)

Flash content binary in nature Silverlight content is textual in nature
