My buddy wants to create a WordPress blog, but because he’s picky about the design (specifically the fonts), he wants to use Flash for the frontend — display, content creation, user interface, etc. He’s looking for a plug-in that will take the user input from the Flash interface and convert it into the appropriate PHP for WordPress. I’ve never used Flash, so I didn’t know what to tell him, other than that this sounds nuts. Is there a better answer than this?
Flash can store and retreive information via HTTP easily enough, and I think
Wordpress makes most things available via an XML-RPC interface, so you could
write a Flash client that did all the display itself and just used the
wordpress backend to save the data.
I’m not sure how this would, in any meaningful way, be “wordpress” though,
rather than just a Flash based blog which used a tiny little bit of
Wordpress’s database.
