Hi,
I cannot seem to find any documentation on this. I am still new to wp and the wp forums so I apologise in advance if this post is in the wrong place.
I am looking to use wp as a tool for managing the content of a flash website. XML is the best way I know to get the content into Flash. But how can I convert my wordpress content to XML?
I would like wordpress to manage news like items (posts i suppose) and some more standard pages of the site such as about us etc. etc. (maybe using pages?)
I appreciate any help on the matter. I am not really sure where to start.
Cheers,
D

This is exactly what I am trying to do at the moment. What I have done so far is use the loadvars function of flash to load some variables from a php file which is fetching them from the database.
My post which is more detailed is Here(http://wordpress.org/support/topic/125184?replies=5).
I don't know if you have worked with mysql and flash together before but I hadn't and only ever touched mysql directly for the first time on Sunday. This tutorial(http://www.creativecow.net/articles/brimelow_lee/php_mysql/php_mysql_flash.html) helped me a lot.
Good luck, if you want any more info on how I'm getting on I will be more than happy to share my progress with you. Please email me at rupham1 AT googlemail DOT com if you wish. Thanks
Not exactly how to do it, but maybe for some inspiration:

Yeah it has the links and login and stuff at the top of the flash movie I'd be interested to know how they did that.
As a follow up to my original question ...
Here is my first Flash site powered entirely by wordpress:
http://kidconfucius.com/
This is what it looks like behind the scenes: http://kidconfucius.com/content/)
The simplest solution is:
1) Create posts with unique category names (these will be the sections of your site)
2) From Flash load XML category feeds as needed.
For example news becomes:
http://www.kidconfucius.com/content/category/news/feed/
