FlashPress

FlashPress - Bridging two worlds
FlashPress is an extension to WordPress, which allows the ability to use an essentially PHP based CMS to communicate with a Flash site. The use of the WordPress CMS in Flash overcomes many obstacles involved with maintaining and updating a Flash site.

PHUG - Open Source Culture, has taking the initiative to extend Tim Wilson’s “Press Connect” PHP application in order develop this new project.

On Wednesday Jan 30th PHUG members attended the FlashInTO and presented the FlashPress project. The presentation was received well and led to many new contributers from the Flash world.
