I don't remember what the reason was for not allowing flash layout submissions, but whatever.

It'd be cool if cB could have some customizable flash layouts. Here's an example of a site that has these: click. Unless there was some uber important reason we didn't have flash layouts, I think they'd give us another edge. boxing.gif

BUT, the problem with PURE flash layouts is cb doesnt currently have the technology to feed the information from your myspace into the flash layout.

and the only other way a user could personalize their flash layout is if they had flash and knew how to edit the source file to begin with; which is highly unlikely.

Actually, once the movie is set up right, all it requires is something like this within the embed code:

<PARAM NAME=FlashVars VALUE="interests=blah">

and they would just type their text in place of the word "blah," and that text would appear inside of the movie, inside of the dynamic text field called "interests"

I plan to offer flash layouts on one of my sites, and I am going to be using that method, but I'll use a form that automatically inserts the text for them.
