[Flashcoders] Flash Developer Forums

2007-08-08 Thread Paul Chang

Hello,

I realize that this list is for discussing code, so I'll make this  
brief.


My San Francisco based company is looking to hire an in-house Flash  
developer and I would appreciate any pointers to lists or url's that  
might help me find high quality people.


Anyone on this list who wants to inquire further should email me  
directly rather than responding to this list ([EMAIL PROTECTED]).


Regards,
Paul

The highly important and common feature for Forums is the ability to  paste
HTML, perform clean and efficient searches, insert images from other
sites/URLs, embed flash animations, right-click to open links posted links
in new tabs/windows, paste code, harcore forum users even cherish their
custom footers. Most of these functions wouldn't be as effective in a flash
front-end.

there is no comparison to how much more useful 100,000 threaded
conversations are in a bulletin board compared to an e-mail list.

I'll have to take your word for it, I never use the things.  I've decided to
go with an existing forum, p2pbb or vbulletin, customized with a flash
header.
Thanks

I vote vBulletin. It's under active development and gets better all
the time. It's already very very smooth and quite powerful. Worth the
$100 or whatever they ask for it.

phpbb is a great open source effort, but just isn't as nice or
powerful overall overall.

[Flashcoders] Flash for forums

2006-06-24 Thread Weldon MacDonald

I've never liked forums, mostly because the I find navigating around in most
forums is pretty clunky,  give me an email list every time, but, as so often
happens, the universe has decided to get a little revenge. I have a client
who wants a forum. I've just spent the morning researching forum software
and there are many good products out there, but none that give the
navigational convenience I would like. I can see a forum with a flash front
end that would be a dream to use, let'
s say, a tree of threads with subjects; hover over one and see a preview;
click and see a list of responses; click on a response and get a preview,
all in one window without a page change. Posts are written in a new window
and don't require 3 or 4 pages generations per response.
That's a little simplistic, but I hope you get the idea. What ever I use it
has to be customized to the look and feel of the site.  Has anyone seen such
a forum?  Or, a forum with documentation that would allow the relatively
easy implementation of a flash front end.
