Turtlebite Flash CMS Framework
There are many flash content management systems out there. So what are the benefits of the Turtlebite Flash CMS Framework? Simply put: it is a backend solution written in ActionScript for Flash. It is completely detached from your website, so it does not stand in your way nor does it tell you how you have to build your website. It is NOT for the novice user, it adresses the flash designer/developer who just needs a way to store and retrieve two things: text and images.

this site is managed by the Turtlebite Flash CMS.
How does it work?
The Turtlebite Flash CMS Framework uses PHP to load and save data from a MySQL Database . The files are organized in 3 folders: config (this is the place where you define everything), data (here will all your uploaded files be) and login (in this folder are all the SWFs and PHP files, the whole framework. You don’t have to bother about these files at all).
Reduced to the minimum
The Framework is programmed in Actionscript 2, but your final website should be using AS3 .
The main concern while developing this CMS was design and control over it: the end user should only be able to edit what he/she is allowed to edit, no more and no less. It concentrates on the core features: editing text, uploading files and resizing pictures. The only FLA you have to edit is fonts.swf.
In your final website you just tap the database and do with the data what you want.
