Flashmint uses deception to sell their templates. I purchased a Business CMS template because they say:

“NO SOFTWARE REQUIRED” on one page. Then on another they state:

“this flash template is based on “Business CMS” engine and NO SOFTWARE REQUIRED to make changes.”

And in another location the claim:

“The main feature of our new product is that you can now have a highly interactive flash website without having to purchase or use any flash editor”

In addition, on the same page its mentioned that the fla file is provided for “advanced users.”

I was all excited; here I thought I was going to build a beautiful flash site. A few minutes later after getting started I discovered I could not find a way to add a hyperlink to the Learn More button on the page. After some fruitless digging I ask support. They told me that would require Flash to edit the fla file. So I went from excited to dejected.

I pointed out to them that the site claims no software required. They replied back by pointing out the “note” which states: “We supply Business CMS with flash animated elements that require Adobe Flash CS3+ to edit.”

That’s all fine and dandy. What they forget to mention, or conveniently left unspoken, is that there are flash elements that will require editing if you want to build the site! In the presence of all the claims of “no software required” this sounds like editing the fla file is just an option if you want to do some optional customization — not a requirement for building the site in the first place

I decide to give it a try and download Flash trial. After a couple hours of reading and playing with the fla file I get no where. I bring up my concerns and frustrations to them (in a nice way) and ask them to point me in the right direction to complete the single task of adding a hyperlink to their Learn More button. Their response was: “Unfortunately teaching flash is beyond the scope of our support service.”

I feel I was ripped off. I am so disgusted with them I don’t even want to ask for my money back. Going to get FlashMoto or something else

Thanks for the awesome review. I have found a bunch of useful information, but still a bit disagree with some points. I recently bought flashmoto and want to say that this flash based cms possesses much more features than mentioned in the post. I did the same research a couple of weeks ago and found out flashmoto to e the most strongest.
ps it’s not an ad, just sharing my opinion.

Anyway, thanks

Wow these tools are looking amazing to manage the flash site easily. I wasn’t aware of that before, it can save much time also. But i have to check there accuracy first on how accurately they put the code.
