Flash Blocks
Build dynamic flash website with ease. drag & drop blue "edit blocks" from your library onto the stage. Treat These like any movie clip. These blocks become editable and they are filled with dynamic content.
Train your clients to manage there flash content effortlessly. Flashblocks CMS
requires literally no client training.
Unlike most, Flashblocks CMS works on practically all PHP servers without
alteration. No Database is required but flashblocks V1.4 can pull data from
mySql using amfphp flash remoting
Insert images, text/HTML, external swf's, and much more with included modules.
The need for Content Management Systems is enevitable, content is alawys king and in the past the difficulties of performing instant and regular changes or updates to flash content was always a problem, requiring a knowledge of Flash to make any changes.
Flash blocks works, creating editable regions that anyone can access and change, with the minimum of training.
