As promised here are some links to do with Drupal / Wordpress & Flash:

to go about it...

http://drupal.org/node/134877
http://drupal.org/node/118136 - this is a useful one!
Wordpress:

Hope these are useful for some people - these bookmarks are up-to a year
old (articles may be older, don't know).
Lots of people seem to be talking about using Zend + AMF, but as this is
a big learning curve and I have not got the time, I don't know about
it. Bit disappointing that Code Igniter never seemed to include
something - even though it's big brother Expression Engine does - if
anyone knows whether this works or not, then that would be nice.
I guess the CMS depends on the job - a lot of companies tend to roll
their own, Group 94's was a particularly sexy, but simple example.

Hi,
Here is one possible place to start - many of the systems use
AMFPHP for sending data backwards and forwards

Drupal does have XMLRPC webservices along with Wordpress
(Wordpress' lets you do some blogging with this, but it is minimal) -
I will have a look for my links when I get home. Don't know about
Joomla, but search for AMFPHP with Joomla, problem is if you use
XML+Joomla you are likely to get back loads of <tables> because it's a
bit behind the times :)

on that note, does anyone have any good resources for using
drupal/wp/joomla one of the bigger solutions to do this kind of thing?
whenever i search flash cms wordpress or whatver i always get articles
about how to add flash content to the site template, not about how to
update/edit xml content....

Sorry, posted the demo URL, it's available on Flash Den.

I have not used it apart from the demo, so I only have a 1000 yard
view, but
from the doc's / demo it looks very straightforward to use and setup.
If you like getting your hands dirty & rolling your own stuff, maybe
look at
something like Drupal + AMPHP / WebServices modules or a similar
system.
Personally I hate Joomla for it's crappy menu management (although
that was
2 years ago), I like Drupal for it's flexibility, but it can be a
pain to
configure. I have found that Wordpress provides one of the easisest
to use
CMS systems "out of the box", (although it is bloating now
somewhat), but
not much cop as an image library system.

Hi, Glen,
That xml editor thing looks cool for a few applications that I
have... but
what I don't see is where it is available for download. Seems like
he has
just finished it and hasn't released it yet. Have you been using it?

There are tons of open source cms systems out there that you can
"plug"
flash into. Drupal supports a nice way of connecting from Flash
sites
into
the CMS, but for some jobs this is a sledghammer vs nut problem. The
system
above is designed to work with Flash, does not seem to have much
setting
up
/ server side baggage and is streamlined enough for the customer
to deal
with (possibly :) )

hey all,
when building basic portfolio sites for clients(i.e. galleries
containing image + text, showcasing photos, projects, etc) what
is the
best cms to use?
Best meaning simple + free.
Basically something enabling the client to add a new item in the
gallery, change the order of the gallery, and possibly image upload
but not even necessarily that.
any suggestions?
saw this one, http://www.codeandvisual.com/rainbow but haven't used
it. wondering what other people use.
I know joomla, drupal, etc are all popular cms's but don't know
if you
can use these for what i'm talking about above.
thanks!
