Re: [Flashcoders] cms solution for flash sites?
As promised here are some links to do with Drupal / Wordpress & Flash: http://www.travistidwell.com/drupal_flash_interface - not the best way to go about it... http://www.cascadingstyle.net/files/presentations/DrupalConPresentation.pdf http://drupal.org/node/134877 http://drupal.org/node/118136 - this is a useful one! Wordpress: http://www.5etdemi.com/blog/archives/2005/04/building-a-flash-front-end-for-wordpress-1-logging-into-the-admin-area/ http://klr20mg.com/2007/01/29/awi-amfphp-wordpress-integration/ http://code.google.com/p/awi/ 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.

Re: [Flashcoders] cms solution for flash sites?
Recently I worked with a team, using Expression Engine. Core module is free, and additional modules are paid, but really not expensive. The job was very smooth and seems the cms is really easy to customize, generating xml based on templates. I'm going to buy some book to learn it and start a new project. Will the list know as soon I have a better basis with it.

damn, that looks pretty cool.
