How it began
My name is Chistian Kaegi. I come from and live in Switzerland. I was born in 1969, I am married and have two kids. I think it was in 2001 when I started with Macromedia Flash. I’d been working as a graphic designer at that time and was instantly absorbed in Flash. As a former musician, I was used to timelines and I just loved the way I could unfold my creativity in Flash. When Flash 5 came out, I started to get involved in programming. Later when AS2 was around, it got even worse 
. I just loved the way I could create anything in Flash, decide freely to code an animation or just use the timeline, even mixing the two techniques. It was than, after many websites done completely with Flash, that I wanted to be able to edit things online…
Today I am a fulltime flash designer/developer. From the beginning I started to build flash websites, only using HTML/CSS & Co. when it was not possible to do the same thing in flash. Soon I wanted to have the possibility to edit text and upload pictures online and was sneaking at those cool CMS available for HTML sites. Full of enthusiasm I started to build the ultimate, full-fledged CMS for and made completely with flash. I was so eager to do it perfectly, to have a WYSIWYG editor that it took a long time before I realized I was about to reinvent the wheel and bring the Flash IDE online. My goal was to have a CMS where everybody without any web knowledge could create their own website in minutes! A so called front end Flash CMS. I even succeded, and did 2 or 3 websites based on it. But a view months later I was totally stuck, it became very laborious and impossible to complete even the simplest tasks. That was very frustrating. Than I began developing the next version: I gave up the idea of a CMS for people who wanted to build their website by themself from scratch. This time my CMS should be more flexible, I would design a website for a client and integrate the CMS on this site, making it possible for the client to login and edit directly on top of the website. So it was still a front end solution. But finally that was also the wrong way to go, because it was cumbersome to integrate it into all the individual websites. That was the time when I started to think about giving up the idea of a front end CMS completely. And that was the perfect decision, because now I have an easy and very flexible back end CMS solution completely coded in Flash. I have used it in almost all of my websites and I’m really happy with it. So happy that I decided to make it available to others who might be in the same situation I was or just haven’t found the right Flash CMS for their needs.
On this site I will also publish some of my other actionscript snippets, components, solutions etc. That way I am forced to document them clearly for myself and if someone else finds it useful, well, that just makes me feel good!
