This post is not an example, but a showcase! As you’ve seen, we have been creating WordPress Plugins in Flex for a while now, which you can download for free.
While creating these plugins, we have learned that Flex and WordPress are a powerful combination, which we should use more often. A while ago, I was looking at our website, and saw our comment form, which was not really impressing me. So I started creating one in Flex.
Some technical info:
- The comment form was created in Flash Builder 4.
- The panel look was changed using Skinning.
- We receive WordPress data through Flashvars.
- We post data via a HTTPService.
- We refresh the screen using Javascript (ExternalInterface).
- Gravatar support, using the gravatar api. (which uses an MD5 hash of the emailaddress)
Check this great Flex & WordPress Showcase underneath every post. Let us know what you think about it! If you like it we might make a WordPress Plugin for it!
This showcase gave me a lot of inspiration for more examples on Flex Blog. Oh and btw, leave a comment

I think there is some mistake in the link you provided for word press comment form plugin developed in Flex.
On the given URL your provided, two plugins posted are
WP Flex Contact Form
Flash CountDown Plugin
But not the word press comments form.
Hi Flex Developer,
The Comment Form is not a WordPress plugin yet. We might create a plugin out of it.
Cheers,

good information provide plugine and blog alos best performance
Hi! Wonderful Idea! But I’ve some problem to get it running. The flash form shows “Error #2032″ duaring the preloading process. Could you provide the flash/flex raw file? Because I’d like to add some custom fields in it. Isn’t it an idea for a tutorial, how to build a form for wordpress in flash? Would be very nice! Thanks!
Just out of curiousity, did you use Zend AMF at all for this? I was thinking utilizing the Zend Framework and Zend AMF specifically to integrate Flash and WordPress and while this is something I’ve been planning for a while, I finally have some time for it….
Hi Kevin,
For this comment form I did not use Zend AMF.
It is not a finished plugin, I just extended our WordPress Theme and load the SWF. The Say it! button will just call the default wordpress php function to place a comment (so our Akismet spamfilter is also taken into account
).
If you would like to have more info let me know.
