Drupal Powered Flash CMS

Hello All,

We have just completed and launched our 2nd attempt at a Drupal Powered Flash website. To give you a little background we are a team of dedicated web developers from the UK, we have been deploying Drupal websites for our clients since the 4.6 days.

As designers and developers we have of course dabbled with Flash, and thought of no better to show off the strengths of Drupal as a CMS and the design possibilites of Flash.

It has taken several months and blood sweat and tears (arguments / differences of opinion etc) to get the site to its launched status. We have generally deployed this using XML feeds generated by views arguments, due to the design of the sites navigation (you'll see if you look at the page), that this is fixed, but hooking up a dynamic menu shouldn't pose too great a deal. Using a javascript flash detection file provided by Adobe it also means the flash side of things does not get in the way of SEO, as there is a still a full HTML viewable and lost of HTML for the SE to rank on.

Heres a list of the additional modules we have running (so of which are actually for the HTML site rather than put to use for the Flash CMS)
