A new site (whose domain name should propagate shortly) - used wcms as a framework (for some of its features) for this one-off project:

Hey great site, love all the movement. How did you make connections between flash and WCMS? Which parts are WCMS?

Hi Yoenuts and Kubens
Thanks for the compliments...

Yoenuts - to answer -
Well, phpWcms was used as a general framework for the site - and Flash was 'hand-crafted' so to speak. It was a friendly marriage, since phpWcms is great for page templates and layouts (color scheme for pages) and built in features (email content part - order programme page). All parameters sent between flash and wcms used FlashVars within a given page's swf object/embed code:

<param name="FlashVars" value="nextPage=index.php?marshall_seifert_gallery&prevPage=index.php?studio_crawl" />

For this one-off project this coding was done manually, but would have worked in situation where these would be dynamically generated by phpWcms using reptags.
