Flash WordPress front-end

I’m about a week and a half into blogging and I realized that WordPress has a great back-end but the front end is only as good as the template. As a Flash developer I can make front-ends all day that make users want to drool but the back-end is always the tricky part. I’ve started the preliminary coding/research into making a front-end for WP in Flash. But what I don’t have is the needs of the community in the back of my mind. Again, I’ve only been blogging for a week or so. Therefore if any heavy WP users have specific challenges they need met I’d love to hear about them. Or, if you’re a Flash dev and you know what kind of a class kit you’d enjoy working with to build your own blog’s front-end, leave a comment.

It is a landing page for a banner campaign for Energizer’s Energi To Go iPod charger. The concept was mocking ‘relationship aide’ products such as Viagra or even dating sites. One huge bug though is that something with the Tween class in ActionScript 3 makes some tweens just decide to up and stop when running in Firefox, which means that if you’re visiting with FF you’ll only see the HTML page :( If you would like to give me your feedback on the Flash version it’s directly linked here
