How it works?

AuroraFlash is simple and elegant solution. The structure of the website is described in xml file. It contains general settings like page titles, slogans, logo image location, copyright and other look and feel related things. Also the main files describes the structure of the menu, assisgns pages to certain menu items, defines the layout of theese pages. It looks much like this:
--about us(type=page, layout_type=text_with_1_colomt)
--gallery(type=menu)
--dogs(type=page, layout_type=image_gallery_vertical_scrolls)
--cats(..........the same)
--my friend(type=external_link, OnClickGoTo="mysite.com")
Clear, right? It would be easy to edit our flash templates even using any text editor allowing to modify xml files. But we realize that visual design editors are much more apealing and intuitive. That was the reason to create desctop application for site structure and graphics libraries manipulation. Btw I forgot to mention that before creating the website you choose one of the existing included designs(graphics and components library - gclib as we call it).
Using this approach the user can create sophisticated and complex flash sites. The developer can get source files and create his own widgets, layouts, design themes.
