I'm sorry, but wouldn't it be better/faster if we used Remoting?
I like the new ExternalInterface way best since it is synchronous. Since
Remoting is a-synchronous the Flash side of communicating with the
container will be more cluttered (as a result of the many callbacks).
As for speed - I didn't do any measurements but I presume the EI way is
probably fastest since there isn't any inter-process IO involved (since
the Flash player runs in the containers process).
Although using AMF over a LocalConnection can also be in one process
this probably isn't faster either: I found using the LC to be very slow
as a result of all the synchronistion that needs to take place on the
shared memory as well as the Flash player not frequently checking for
new incoming data.
Sending actual Objects across the wire to an EXE seems much nicer.
Using EI you're also doing that - the only difference is in the
formatting: binary for AMF, XML for EI. Both will require
(de)-serialization so there's not much difference there either. An extra
bonus might be that EI doesn't have any size limitations (didn't test
that yet) on the data being transfered, unlike AMF.
