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.
To learn more about the dynamic Flash capabilities of the Turbine
product range, we invite you to check our available solutions:
ASP Turbine 7, allowing for ASP and ASP.NET-driven Flash generation
and PHP Turbine for

and Linux).
