Hi all,
I have a question that, without a doubt will make some of question my sanity, primarily since I am dealing with Flash. Ok, breathe...
I am tasked with adding a responsive site for tables and mobiles and an international (i18n) management platform to our web sites lineup. Currently, our main consumer site is built in Flash and and utilizes a custom CMS that everyone is familiar with (marketing ppl).
Our current dilemma is that while adding the mobile sites and building a management platform, I would like to combine the product and content management and hand that over to Drupal so that all our current platforms can feed from one source and we do not have to update several different sources with the same content. This would reduce the amount of updates we would have to make to our various offerings.
I have been utilizing Drupal for our newer offerings, but due to a lack of time and resources we are trying to see if we can load all our drupal contained data into flash.
The current FlashCMS uses XML to receive all its pertinent data, so a quick test showed that we can export XML data via views to flash. However our current implementation would loads the page template that then in turn loads the the data via a URL. So in effect it makes two 'page' requests (for a lack of a better word) to load a page.
I would like to see if I can have that done already so that the data is maybe embedded into the output when flash loads and not have to make an additional call.
I am aware that this is not optimal, but this would allows us to focus on the development of our other offerings before we have to return attention to that site.
If you have any suggestions on how to achieve this I would love to hear it. Thank you very much.
