I'm creating a creative writing journal using Drupal. I know that you can use Flash on the front page using the Front Page module, but I'm interested in the entire journal using Flash. I found a template that looks like a book turning pages, which is perfect for an online journal: http://www.templatemonster.com/flash-templates/20904.html

But will Drupal support this? Also, would the back end look like this as well? Since we will be doing editorial functions in the back end, I think it might be annoying to have that be entirely in flash as well.

Thanks for your help and suggestions.

I doubt it. It looks to me that this flash website is complete built in Adobe Flash, with no communications to content outside of the flash file. And if there is no communication, Drupal can't provide the template with content.

edit: BTW. That doesn't mean it is impossible for Drupal to run on a Flash-based template, just not THIS template. By using a different admin-template (which you can set at admin/settings/admin) you can use a normal template for the administration pages.

[link deleted] is a completely drupal based site done in flash. So yes, it is very possible

I have been desperately trying to find a way to create a flash site powered by Drupal. I am not an expert in Flash, and I am average with Drupal. Who designed/created [link deleted] and how? I really want to change our association's website to be Flash powered by Drupal...

Thanks

I don't think [link deleted] is a done in drupal; its source read wordpress.

As the site in question was clearly wordpress, and this is starting to look like link spam (which by the way is nofollowed on d.o), I've deleted the links.

Drupal can be used to back a flash based front end, no problem. For more info and some legit examples see my previous comment here: http://drupal.org/node/371801#comment-1249413.

If any of the posters want to know how the site in question was done I suggest you contact the site since it has nothing to do with drupal.
