I like the little arrows pointing you to what is draggable. Makes the banners a little more interesting I think. Nice man. I like the little arrows pointing you to what is draggable.

I have actually considered each of those suggestions already and will work on implementing them. The good news is that since Fless just sits alongside a WordPress installation the crawling is still happening just like normal. One thing that sucks is the limited amount of media that flash can interpret so my ulitmate goal would be for a popup system that allows any embedded media to be displayed in a new (html) window. Could you explain your comment about the template system further? As it is I have a class that reads and stores the data of the blog posts, and then you can create any type of view for those posts you want by simply getting the strings out of a Post Class.

Will this be open Source? I'd love to move my own blog to fless (http://imanit.com/blog/). I think its important to use SWFAddress so its SEO. I think Fless should have 2 parts to it, a swf that defines a template by making calls to the main library, and the main library [ which i think is what you are doing based on the example code, buts its good to make note of because while designing the Fless library you should always think about the "template creator"]. I think you should support categories, links, blog roll, subscribe and anything thats cool in wordpress 2.0. I think you should investigate on how to make sure the text gets crawled as effectively when it is in flash as it would if it was html. I think you should support showing external files within an article (ie .png, .swf, .flv). Needs to support comments. Wow that would be a lot of work. I love the concept. Will this be open Source?

After reading your post, I've had a short look at your problem... It turns out air doesn't like the shared library option. You can download a working AIR rpc example here: http://labs.qi-ideas.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/air_rpc.zip Yours, Sander Julian,

]]> Comment on Flash WordPress front-end by Ched http://juliankussman.com/blog/2007/11/13/flash-wordpress-front-end/#comment-85 Ched Thu, 06 Mar 2008 22:19:44 +0000 http://juliankussman.com/blog/2007/11/13/flash-wordpress-front-end/#comment-85 Welp, first thing, theres <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/flash-blog/" rel="nofollow">this</a>. The biggest thing for me would be the manipulation of the loop. If the flash front-end would simply output text into different string variables, that would be enough for my needs; same goes for all of the wp template tags. Welp, first thing, theres this.

You'll never see the source repository because its not an open source project. One of the developers on the Yahoo! team directed me to this blog post: http://www.zeuslabs.us/2008/02/12/yahoo-actionscript-3-maps-api-in-flash-cs3/ I'm currently using this process for a project I'm working on and its working just dandy.
