As promised on the CodeGarden 06 conference I have created an umbraco package containing all files needed to run my presentation.
In my presentation I showed a flash image gallery where pictures are stored in umbraco and a how to build a flash website where all site structure and content are stored in umbraco.
Flash gallery example
This package is targeted to flash developers as a Flash starterkit.
And as mention on the conference use JSON instead of XML when working with flash since JSON parsing is faster than XML parsing and as a side effect you will produce much nicer code, and other developers can easily co/work/maintain your flash projects.
The package contains: Macros (6), files (11 including *.FLA (flash source)), Document Types (5), Templates (6), Stylesheets (1), Documents/Nodes (20+)
Howto:
- Create a fresh umbraco site.
- Install the package (Go to 'Developer' section. Right click on 'Macros' -> choose 'Import Package')
- Upload some pictures in the format 500px*500x (for best result) into umbraco via the Media management, you can download some nice graphics to test with.
- Publich the whole site (Right click on the Frontpage)
- Edit the Gallery Example node and insert the FlashShowImagesFromMediaFolder macro.
- See the result instantly :-)
- Edit the Flash Website node and insert the FlashShowImagesFromMediaFolder macro
- See the result instantly :-)
Download Flash and Umbraco package
You can always just unzip the package to view the files
