The guys at Commonwealth Utilities and I launched the redesign of their website yesterday. I built the site in Flex for a variety of reasons.
One of the more interesting aspects of the site to me was integrating the “Join the CWU” page with MailChimp. I would really like to thank Christan Cox for the publishing some sample code on how to do this in Flash.
After trying a few different ways to replicate Christan Cox’s code in Flex, I eventually decided to customize his sample code in Flash to match the design, export the code as a SWF, and load the SWF into Flex at run time. It worked like a charm.
We still have some big plans for this site. I will keep you posted as we flesh out the site more over the next few weeks.
