MODX pure Flash front-end

Hi guys.

I tried to search for the question but didn’t succeed. I wonder if that’s possible to create a pure Flash front-end version of Modx CMS. All back-end stuff like database management, accounts, all the usual functionality of Modx is still on itself. But the rendering front-end is implemented in Flash.

I ask you guys for any tips, links, advices, opinions, thoughts. Anything that would be useful in this case.

Thank you very much prior.

Yes, you can have the front-end be anything you want. Just put the flash stuff in the document content, the same way you would put it in any HTML page. You can also use flash menus; that would be in the template. Again, just put your flash markup in the HTML of the template (or in a chunk, and use the chunk’s tags in the template).

Hello,

- using MODx manager, i create all the structure and documents, where templates are just there to define Template variables for each type of document.
- the i create a unique template wich display the .swf file.
- From Flash now, i access the content via AMFPHP (http://www.amfphp.org/)

here’s some examples i made using full flash frontend :

The only bad thing is in AMFPHP where i wasn’t able to access the MODx API functions,
but with a bit of organisation, it’s ok.

Thanks guys for you replies. But I’m not sure you have cought what I meant. I don’t want my web-site be in flash. I want MODX admin to be in flash. Thus, I could use MODX to create either flash or not flash (no matter) websites. I want flash to be at a front-end of a MODX itself, not at a front-end of a website that is driven by the MODX.

To _lol_

Like I go here http://www.andreagiacobbe.net/pages/manager/ , and that’s the place I want to have flash at.

I don’t want a flash website driven by MODX. I want a flash MODX.

Oh. No, that’s not possible. Aren’t there flash-driven CMS programs out there?

Can you explain why would you like something like that. I see no reason.

This looks pretty impressive if you have a flash website.
But I really don’t know how you would achieve complex tasks.
