Im nearing completion of a wordpress powered blog in built in Flash.
Functionally its almost there but would like some outsiders thoughts on it as I thinking of making some alterations visually.
thanks in advance,

Handsome.
The scrolling effect made me a bit dizzy though. Too rubbery.

and it kinda lags on my comp... people with slower connections are probably gonna get frustrated
@scrolling effect
but i like the layout and color scheme and overall its well-designed, well-done!

I can scroll the text fields with the scroll wheel at the same time the whole page scrolls. Being over a text field should cancel out the main scroller or turn scrolling off on the text fields.

Pretty dope.
I actually like to scroll with myspace bar, like when you tap it jumps the webpage up to the next point....
anyway to implement that along with the scrollbar?
- rson0
can I have this as a template? please!

I like it, you've done a great job. The design is real subdued and works really well. The parallel comment area is a nice touch.

thanks guys,
I havent really worked on pageloading stuff yet, preloading and all that jazz so its not that smooth to load on a slow connection.
yea scrollwheeling is only activated on the whole page not the comments, once it goes live and If I get enough comments that the scrollbar will be getting used Ill look at it.
whats the point? Kinda just to see if it was possible and how close I could get to replicating the functionality of an html WP blog. I do plan on maybe having more experimental displaying of the posts because at the moment the vertical scrolling formet is a little too similar to html ones
- eegrek0
is this actually implemented using wordpress or just a flash site replicating wordpress?
- coldy0
no I cant give it to you as a template Im afraid,
but I used this for getting flash to talk to WP:
http://www.tvwonline.net/lab/pre…once youve got that working its all dealing with the xml that gets sent back from the database. There is another thing out there which is simlilar I thnik called XML-RPC or something, this seemed easier though
- yeah i was just looking at that.rson

Pretty cool. You could acheive some really nice visualizations organizing your posts, now that you have all that data in flash. Nice job.

fair-fucking-play... functional, usable and well designed. a triumph...
hip hip... hooray! (x3)

Personally I think it would look cleaner without the large, white serif type behind the cap italic headings, kind of 3 styles going on there. Other than that picky comment it's damn good, but you'd expect so working for Hi-ReS!

big thanks guys,
Its one of those projects that you (as the designer) look at so much that you lose all frame of reference.... so its good to hear other views.
