Hi, I have a website that contains flash element (this will be scrolling news item). I want to know if it's possible to incorpoate this with the CMS builder.
thanks!

Hi greatjakes,

Probably. As long as your flash element takes input as either content in the html, or an xml file, you can use CMS Buider to output the content it needs. Most support this.

Check the docs for the flash element for more details. If you can get it working (and updatable) with plain html then you can do it with CMS Builder.

Hope that helps!

Hi there.

I had a look through your script there and creating the XML file to that the flash loads should be fairly straight forward. The thing is that we aren't flash developers so that isn't going to be something we can do too much with.

If you were ok with doing the flash part, we can help with the XML.

Let me know :).

Thanks Ross,

We can provide you with working flash and xml. We just need you to configure CMS to edit the xml. We want to be able to add/edit/delete XML records. Each record is only two fields. Two questions:

1) Roughly how long will this take(billable hours)?
2) How much lead time will you guys need?

Thanks!

Hi

Setting that up wouldn't take too much time at all. I could even do it this afternoon if we got the ball rolling. Otherwise, it would be a tomorrow morning kind of thing.

Could you drop me an email through consulting@interactvietools.com

Just mention this thread in your email and I can take it from there.

Thanks!
