I'm looking for pages that are based on the wordpress plateform but uses some flash into it

ah, we did a wordpress backend for our new flash site. http://www.copacino.com (and I have a screen shot of the UI on my krop page -> http://krop.com/nicholascryder )

I'll continue to steer this thread in the wrong direction and answer Georges question...
wp already has an xml-rpc interface to get content as xml, but it's a bit limited. you can roll your own script that outputs xml instead of html, or you can use this guy's... http://www.tvwonline.net/lab/pre…

Thanks acescence,
looks good, but i'm not quite ready to delve into AS3

i am working with a team to do a wordpress to flash site right now... they are using AS3... I think you have to use AS3
- or you are limited to certain functions********
- but I suck at flashGeorgesII
- not really limited to AS3 but it is better and runs faster.cramdesign
- AS3 is better than AS2 but if you have an XML interface you can do...taxiguerrilla
- .. almost anything with AS2. Or, if you do not require to pass to the flash a large amount of data, you can use flashvars (as i did for the menu)taxiguerrilla
- ... as I did for the flash header).taxiguerrilla
- No, completely possible in AS2. Currently working on http://www.fosterhar… - driven purely by wordpress...karlranday
- or you are limited to certain functions

parsing xml in as2 is not as easy as with as3, but it's entirely possible to do

- You can easily find some XML to Object class to use with AS2taxiguerrilla

Anyway, it depends on what you need:
> A flash completely driven by wordpress -> you can rely on xml-rpc interface or create your own wp templates to output the xml you need
- A small flash into a "normal" wordpress site -> you can use flashvars to send to the flash small amount of dynamic data
