http://www.designwithtorlon.com/
Developed by Jason Fistner for Liquid Interactive, Lehigh Valley, PA

designwithtorlon.com was developed for Quadrant Plastics to promote the use of a particular product called Torlon.
This site was developed using Gaia 2.1.8 AS3 with some modifications (most of which were added to Gaia in a later release).
It takes advantage of Gaia's integration with swfobject and swfaddress, preloading, asset management, and event system.

Using the Gaia Flash Framework, we were able to focus on the site itself and not the complications involved in every Flash site build.
Gaia abstracts out the difficult parts and provides a solid, no-bloat framework on which to build Flash sites.
In addition, Gaia's sound logic and clean code also makes customization highly intuitive.
I typically refuse to depend on other people's code, but Gaia follows best practices throughout making it very difficult to do better.
Even code formatting is done in the manner I believe to be the most conducive to digestion. It is almost as if I did it myself.  Grin

I am very comfortable using Gaia.
Steven's dedication, willingness to improve Gaia, and constant communication with Gaia users makes using the framework an easy decision.

Very nice, Jason.  I see you added a couple of custom features to Gaia, including the pagePath and assetPath attributes in your site node.  Smiley

Thanks guys!

steven,
stay out of my site.xml!  haha
didn't you add that mod to Gaia already? -> http://www.gaiaflashframework.com/forum/index.php/topic,434.0.html
there's other gems in there too
for instance, notice that the url doesn't have 'home' despite the structure
that's what this thread was about-> http://www.gaiaflashframework.com/forum/index.php/topic,495.0.html

Can you post the code you used to keep Gaia from adding the #/home to the single path?

man my life is just chaos...

anyway...
so in that thread i suggested changing the logic from isSinglePage to isSinglePath where each page has 1 or 0 page children
and that's pretty much what i did... i think- it was some time ago

https://jason-fistner.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/gaia/one_path

SiteModel.as
changed logic from single page to single path
set base path in GaiaSWFAddress

GaiaSWFAddress.as
static basePath var instead of hard-coded "index" (likely this was changed already)

this code is, admittedly, not optimized.
also, it was modified 2.1.7 or 2.1.8

probably should be expanded to accommodate the case where all leaf pages have same ancestor (single path then 2+ children)
