[TYPO3-mvc] extbase based website online

Hi Mario,

Yes, the flash content is loaded via a XML file generated by 
extbase/fluid. As this content may be cached by TYPO3 in this case, I 
simply used a dedicated pageType to generate the XML. This is working 
quite fine with extbase/fluid.

For now also via a certain pageType. In order to have this also work 
without JS I created regular links to pages within extbase/fluid and 
gave those links certain css-classes that I parse with jQuery. In jQuery 
itself I add a additional "type" parameter to the href URL and load it 
via ajax. In Typo3 I'm setting a flag in my plugins settings that's 
telling me that the output should be returned as XML. I use this setting 
in my layouts to dynamically add some XML wrappers to my regular content 
coming from the templates. The rest is regular jQuery stuff.

not yet, although this will be a task in the near future.

nope it's not. I noticed the same effect on my laptop with the same 
configuration, but not on my desktop computer also having the same 
configuration. So I thought it could be related to the graphics driver 
of my laptop or something like that. Even in virtual machines where I 
did some browser tests the animation was quite fine. And I'm not sure if 
I can have any influence on this :/
