Gaia Site: Design with Torlon by Liquid Interactive
designwithtorlon.com was developed for Quadrant Plastics by Liquid Interactive to promote the use of a particular product called Torlon. This site was developed using Gaia 2.1.8 AS3 with some customization the developer made for features Gaia did not yet support (which were added in later releases). It takes advantage of Gaia's integration with SWFObject and SWFAddress, preloading, asset management, and event system.
Jason Fistner, the lead developer at Liquid, had this to say about his experience with Gaia:
"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.
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."
