Dynamic Flash Content with Turbine

 
Flash is a fantastic multimedia technology - the vector graphics, animation and interactivity capabilities, packed with ultra-light web downloads allow for the creation of sophisticated interactive media experiences. However creating site content in Flash comes with a price - Flash movies are commonly hand-crafted one-by-one and are difficult to keep updated - maintaining a whole site up-to-date and coherent usually requires modifying a large number of movies and represents a resource intensive and error-prone task.
 
Because of this limitation, certain kinds of sites, usually featuring dynamic and frequently updated content were usually thought as out of question for using Flash technology. Examples of sites and industries that usually involved with dynamic content are the entertainment, the e-commerce, advertising (personalized advertisements) and Geographic Information Systems industries, the news and information industries, and of course the generic personalization needs of most Flash-based web sites.
 
The vision behind our Turbine product range is to allow web developers to resolve the Flash presentation vs. content issue on the easiest possible way. Turbine allows a simple separation of presentation and content so that developers can create compelling and rich multimedia experiences and still be able to transparently integrate content from dynamic sources like databases, XML documents, text files, image, video sound, etc.
