What is flashpress?
flashpress is a theme framework that allows you
to manage a full flash site using WordPress as the CMS!
Why build flashpress?
The use of the WordPress CMS in Flash overcomes many obstacles
involved with maintaining and updating a Flash site.
Let’s face it, it’s expensive and timely working in Flash!
Some Benefits
• Client side management for Flash content/media
• Easy blogging in Flash
• A simple way to add a Database to Flash
• Plus all the other benefits of WordPress!
The flashpress architecture
How does it all Work?
Because flashpress is a theme framework all we need to do is copy
the fp php files to our themes directory. Then we need to copy the
Flash theme/class directory to the root of our WP install.
The Flash files
When developing a Flash site your require 2 essential directories, deploy
which contains the final output and source which contains all working files,
libraries, utils, etc…
deploy source
• *.swf • *.fla
• AC_RunActiveContent.js • *.as
• index.html • com and other custom packages
• fullscreen.html (pv3, tweener, utils, etc…)
Enough talk!
Where we are?
There’s still a lot of work to do!

FlashPress is an extension to WordPress, which allows the ability to use an essentially PHP based CMS to communicate with a Flash site. The FlashPress project aims to develop a new WordPress bundle that will allow anybody to download, install, choose a template, and be up running with a fully CMS backed Flash site or blog in minutes. As part of this project we will be publicly documenting the process, code, and challenges along the way. less
