In love with UIScrollbar
This post is all about scrolling. I’m not talking about scrolling text, but scrolling movieclips. Or more precise: scrolling a whole flash website. If you want to do this you have a few choices. If you have read the title of this post you know which is my favoured method… Use the browser scrollbar This seems to be the obvious choice. I do this sometimes, and if I do I use SWFFIT. This...

Flash CMS step by step tutorial “editing text”
The first step-by-step quick start tutorial is finished! It covers the basics and will guide you from the installation of the Flash CMS to the integration of it in your flash website (or maybe a flebsite? Well, that’s another story… ). I have set up a FLA file that shows kind of a greeting card. I’m sorry for the ugly 3D look, but I wanted the file to be compatible to CS3. In CS4...

Fleb Framework version 1.1: Improved Express Install Procedure and more
A special thank to Niklas Hallgren who brought this issue up. I must admit I have not covered the case when a user actually has the flash plugin installed, but it is outdated and the express install is started. If he clicks “Yes”, the flash plugin will be installed and everything is fine: the user will see the flash version of the website after installation is complete. This is where I...

Introducing the Fleb Framework!
Hi everyone! I have created my own framework to build pure flash websites, or short: flebsites . Let me introduce the Fleb Framework. But why another framework when there is the wonderful Gaia Framework around? Let me explain: I really like the Gaia Framework, I have used it for my last websites.

Global Navigation version 2.00 released
This is an exciting update, because it makes things easier. From now on you don’t have to think about button IDs anymore. Remember, up to now you had to name the buttons carefully in the correct manner: b0, b1, b2 etc. for the first level, then b1_0, b1_1, b1_2 and so on for the sub navigation of b1 etc. This is now handled automatically, so you can move nodes around in the xml file without having...

Flash CMS version 4.67: Introducing the ServiceCenter
Update 06/21/2010 I have removed the servicecenter alltogether because there were too many problems reported by different users on different servers ( especially concerning file permissions). But I have moved everything into one config.php file so in fact it’s not difficult at all to install the CMS without the servicecenter. Just follow the installation steps. —- Done! I have finished...
