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 flashpress architecture
WP root wp-content themes themename
• wp-admin • images
• wp-content • flashpress.class.php
• wp-includes • fp-add-comment.php
• flash • fp-posts.php
• *.php
• fp-search.php
• *.php/css

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!
