My Flash/MODx Hybrid

I updated my website, michaelbreuer.com using the MODx content management system and Flash for presentation. When I decided to try out another CMS, I was looking for something that was flexible, lightweight, and worked well with Flash.

The hurdles I wanted to get over were the ability to present content with Flash, be able to update it on the fly, and the text is selectable. I hate it when I go to site where the email address or text is in Flash and I can’t just copy and paste it. I was able to do this very easily with MODx.

I found one of MODx’s big advantages is the ability to save files in almost any format. I think this is a feature overlooked by some of the other content management systems and I do hope it catches on.

    Please do post a tutorial on how you are doing it, That’s exactly why I chose MODx as my CMS of choice, the ability to work wirth flash via XML (and the endless doors it opens)

    I think this might catch lots of attention, since the only solutions for Flash right now are either custom made solutions, toy XML and/or PHP components or really really toy-clown “inline” editing components.
    And of course for a content intensive site, that really doesn’t cut it.
    So I’m o guru but I’m willing to help if you are interested.

    Keep the innovation and greatest of luck!
