Creating Content

November 13th, 2008

Its very important to create your content in the Wordpress admin back-end prior to building your Flash file. The advance options of Custom Fields and Page Parent are very immportant in organizing how your Flash file gets it content.

Creating pages

  1. In the Wordpress admin, select Write / Page in the main navigation.
  2. Enter the page’s Title and Page content using both the Visual and HTML views.
  3. You can use image media inside the Page.
  4. All relative links will be read in Flash as relative BlackBox linking.
  5. Add custom Fields to change the way the page is read in Flash.
  6. If you choose a Page Parent for the Page, the navigation data red in Flash will use that structure inside the navigation as well as the page content loaded. If your loading a page that has children pages, the page’s data object will have multiple items. The first item “0″, will have the page asked for, and items 1 and on will be data objects for each of item 0’s child pages.
  7. Custom Keys:
    order : 0+  Navigation data sorting override. If you specify this, the navigation data read in Flash will sort the pages in the order value specified.
    - showInMenu : true/false  If you specify this as false, it will not be shown in the navigation data read in Flash. This is best if you want to show a Page’s child pages in the parent’s page only.
