Title: HLP flash edition
Post by: JBX-Phoenix on January 19, 2002, 09:19:00 pm

What ever happened to the flash edition of HLP? I remember a link to it on the main page a while back (way back.)

Ah, well it was a bit dodgy, so we dumped it. Simple.  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif)

Besides, Flash for a site of this size is just... well, too hard. Too many updates, too much stuff, not static enough. Wouldn't benefit from Flash that much anyway.  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

That's why you serve your content out of a database with templated Flash. No need to update the flash, just the content in the DB.  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

I think you would; it provides a smoother interface. Perhaps just even creating the buttons in Flash would be cool.

Hell, I just got an idea you could use  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif) xml, but still it seems half the staff are occupied with other work, and the other would probably end up having to learn it...but  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/tongue.gif)

You know, if you're not using it, you shouldn't leave it on the server right here ("http://www.3dap.com/hlp/flash/").
Too bad, liked that version  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

I actually toyed with that for a while but we kept on running into problems. Lots, and lots of problems.  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/redface.gif)

Why did we leave it up? Wasn't doing any harm...  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif)
