Incorporating Flash with Dynamic Content
18 February 2009 at 9:11am
Hi, this is only loosely relating to silverstripe and is probably much more a flash issue, but I thought I may as well try out the silverstripe community and see how I go.
Well anyway, I have a flash banner/gallery type object on my website which I am migrating to my new silverstripe website. At the moment the images, text, and links are hard coded into the fla and I have to edit it by hand when I want to make changes. Could someone point me in the right direction on integrating this into my site so that it updates based on the latest content? Or so I can control it from within the CMS?
Obviously the first step is getting the flash to load an xml file and read the items. Anyone know how to do this in a straightforward way or have some links to tutorials?
All feedback appreciated - thanks

You can output XML from SilverStripe in various ways. One of the easiest is RestfulServer (http://doc.silverstripe.com/doku.php?id=restfulserver). It uses XMLDataFormatter, a utility class which might be helpful for you as well. And then there's the good old "make a new template with XML header" way ;) There's not much difference to creating an HTML template really. As for your banner, I'd suggest an image relation on your homepage in the CMS ($has_one Image), which you can then form into XML with a new controller method on Page.php
