Spreadshirt.com Rotate Design Feature
anybody been to spreadshirt.com yet? it's a site where you create a tshirt design and have it printed, i'm creating an app similar to it and i can't seem to get the logic behind the rotate feature.

i mean, i'm already able to rotate my design but what i don't get is the snap feature. it's when the clipart should get stuck when you rotate it because it hits the outsides of the bounding box.

i hope this does not violate some copyright stuff since i also spent time coding my app, and i'm just copying a feature. any insights would be appreciated. thanks.

here's a link to spreadshirt btw..
http://www.spreadshirt.com/us/US/Cre...t/Designer-59/

and here's my app (quite buggy as of now)
http://tshirt.ramon.ph/

HTTP Status 404 Http://localhost:8080/flashservices/index.html
Why if I type "http://localhost:8080/flashremoting/gateway" (flashremoting is the context root)in the address bar, I will get a HTTP Status 404 error: The requested resource (/flashservices/index.html) is not available.
If every thing is ok, it should show a blank page, right?
Thanks

By the way, if I set gateWayUrl to "http://localhost:8080/flashremoting/gateway", I will get an error of "flashgateway.adapter.NoSuchServiceException: No service named flashremoting is known to Flash Remoting MX."
if I set it to "http://localhost:8080/flashremoting/", I will get an error of "NetConnection.call.BadVersion"!

I am quite confused now, can anyone help me out?
I am using flash mx 2004 pro, flash remoting mx with components installed. And tomcat 5.0

[F8] Links In Single Swf To Http:// Http://www And Https://
Hey everyone, I have an swf with several links to "http://www.infiniteguitar.com/blahblah.php". You can see the swf on the top left of the site here: http://www.infiniteguitar.com/ where it says "Lesson Links".

My problem, is that the links only work when the address bar in the browser specifically says "http://www.blahblah" with the "www". However, if I used the following URLs, the links don't load:

http://infiniteguitar.com
https://www.infiniteguitar.com

Is there something I have to do in the actionscript to make the links load no matter what the beginning of the URL says. I'd like the links to work on secure pages as well as when the "www" is not present in the URL.

Thanks for any help!

Pro Shop
I don't think I can make it beyond the drawing board in the design phase (creating the way things look from a pure FORM point of view) to the flash stage in the development phase (programming the way things work from a pure FUNCTION point of view) without pulling all of my hair out.

Does there exist any kind of "pro shop" where a newbie who is frustrated to tears can go and just pay a flash expert to do in his sleep what she can't do wide awake?

IOW, how do I subcontract out the action script portion of my projects? I know that's a wuss way out but I have other fine art projects I need to be focused on and my mind goes into vapor lock trying to figure out why something doesn't work the way it should. Plus, it is just too time consuming. Please advise.

Flash Shop
The description below is what i want to do. Right now I am using paypal's cart, but I want to have the cart in flash. You can see what I have done so far: http://www.creationdaze.com . You'll notice that for every item added to the cart it opens up another html page for the cart. Thats why I want to have a cart in flash. Your help would be greatly appreciated!

I am using MX, I am sending the variables to Paypal. I have about 32 items right now. I have a mainmovie (_level0) witch loads a vertical menu to the left (_level1) and loads the maincontent (_level2).
There are three catagories of items. So in the menu(_level1) there are links to the 3 catagories witch when click on load there catagory in _level3. So there are different items in these 3 catagories and I want the visitor to be able to add the items to the cart. Have the cart add up the total, with short description for each item (identifing the item) and send the two variables to paypal. Hope that was clear enough.

Main Movie (loads to _level0)
:holds all the other loaded movies using (loadmovie command)

Menu (loads to _level1)
:has the buttons that link to the catagories of items. ie.. (cat1,cat2,cat3) when clicked loads to _level3

Content movie (loads to _level2)
:initial content page

Cat1 - button on menu (when clicked loads cat1.swf to _level3)
Cat2 - button on menu (when clicked loads cat2.swf to _level3)
Cat3 - button on menu (when clicked loads cat2.swf to _level3)

Each catagory has items that when click "add to cart" next to that item should be added to the cart.
It should add up all items to a "total price" and add up all descriptions for each item to "total description"

When click on check out - should send "total price" and "total description" to paypal.
You know what I mean! =)

Please let me know if you need further information. Looking forward to your help!

Card Shop
Hello,

I've been searching around and can't seem to find the answer that I'm look for.

I want to make a site that will let people buy cards.
Nothing too fancy, I just want the customer to pick a template and then pick from a list of pictures I have, let them type in the text that they want on the card. When they finished the design, I would like them to enter the amount of quantity and click the Submit/Buy button.

Now I'm stuck here, once they've click the Submit/Buy button, I just don't know what to do.
I don't know how to receive their orders, how to get their contact/delivery address etc.

Can anyone please direct me to the right place please?
Any info, Web sites would be a great help.

Thank you
Sol

Tab Order Is All Over The Shop
Hi,
I have a problem with text input fields on a form:

It's driving me mad - please can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Coffee Shop Menu
Hi,

This probably isn't the right forum for this, but I hope someone can help.

I know someone who is going to open a coffee shop, in an office complex and he wants to make his shop a little different from all the other coffee shops out there.

What he wants to do is, display the shops menu on a large plasma screen. The menu will be controlled from his laptop, and once the design of the menu has been finished. When he wants to change a price of item, he can just go to the laptop and change the price.

So now this will need to be something he can do on the fly. He doesn't know Flash. So I was thinking I could create the actual menu with Flash. Then create a small Access database that will store all his items with the prices. Then somehow pull the data from access, and display it in the Flash Menu. So anytime he makes changes to the items in the database, it is reflected in the menu.

Is this possible? How difficult is it, to pull the data from the database and display it in Flash?

Or is there a better option then using Access for this?

I need to make it as easy as possible for him to make changes.

Thanks in advance
Chris.

[F8] Flash Populating Php Shop?
Hi, at work we've got a shop and a flash movie, and what they want is for the flash movie to populate the shop (say there's a category button in the flash movie it would then populate the shop in php).
Is there a way I can do this while not reloading the page (and hence restarting the movie), maybe having the flash file and php in different frames then populating the php shop from buttons within flash?
What would be the best way to do this, when it comes to flash I can make sites/small animations etc but I've never done anything uber complicated, any help on what I could do with reading up on and what methods would be best would be a great help.

Thanks

Flash And Paypal Shop.
I've created a Flash / Paypal shop that works great. However I'm unhappy with the fact that each time a product is purchased the visitor is taken to the Paypal site to view their basket and then needs to press a "Continue Shopping" button to be taken back to the Flash shop (and not particularly the page they left).

I'd far rather the View Cart option was kept in the Flash site and only when the visitor is happy with the total purchases do they click on a proceed to checkout button which takes them to Paypal site for the first and only time.

I can do all this. The only hurdle I need to get over now is this:

When a "Place in Basket" button is pressed, purchase_x equals that product and x is increased by 1. So when x = 1 and the first product is placed in the basket, purchase_1 = that product and x is increased to 2 etc

Paypal will accept multiple upload of purchases but they must have sequential numbering. So this would work fine:

Code:
paypal.item_name_1=purchase_1;
paypal.item_name_2=purchase_2;
paypal.item_name_3=purchase_3;
paypal.item_name_4=purchase_4;

My problem arises when in the Flash side of the site, purchase_2 is removed from the basket. If paypal.item_name_2 is missed off all the following paypal variables are ignored. So I want to end up with code like:

Code:
paypal.item_name_1=purchase_1;
paypal.item_name_2=purchase_3;
paypal.item_name_3=purchase_4;
Of course there would be more variables than this per product but I hope I'm keeping it simple.

Anyone any ideas on an easy way to achieve this?

Developmnet Of A Flash Shop
Hey All,

Im about to develop an online shop that is based in flash. I was wondering what the best way to get the data from the remote database would be. I am running apache, MySQL and PHP.

In the past I have used the built in function whatever.sendAndLoad method from Flash. However, Ive been doing some research and have read about this flash remoting stuff, particulary AMFPHP.

Is this more hassle than its worth?

Setting Up A Shop With Flash
hallo everyone,
I have created a flash website and I want to add a Shop on line made by Flash as well. I have created the structure but I am really stuck with some important issues:

How can I add items to a "Shopping art" in flash?: example : I want to buy a T-shirt size "S" color Blue which cost Â£10 how can I include all these information in a script for the flash button "Add to Cart" related to the t-shirt.

How can I add diferent Items in the "shopping cart" plus delivery charge?

I saw the shop on line of Nike.com and It is something like this that I meant. Not as complicated as Nike but I would like to know what to learn to get that sort of result.

Importing Gif From Animation Shop 3
Ok, here's the situation. I used Animation Shop 3 to make a blue pill GIF rotate, i made it into an animated GIF. When i try to import it into my (Flash MX) FLA, it adds about 80 bitmaps to my library in addition to the GIF i made... the Gif works when you play in within the Library preview... but i can't figure out how to put it into my FLA. it doesn't seem to like me dragging and dropping it into a key frame... what am i doing wrong? any ideas on how to correct it? it's just a stupid Gif i want to make into a linked button. I tried attaching my file, but it's too big to upload (123 kb zipped)

Thanks

MySQL Or XML For Flash Shop?
Hi there, I am working on building a very simple online shop that also has a database of the orders that have been made. I have been doing a bit of work with XML and wondered if this would suffice to use as the database for a shop, the database only needs to have text details of orders, it will not hold details of products as there is only one product the shop will sell.

It seems that MySQL is normally used for this kind of thing but I am only trying to create a very simple database and as I am reasonably happy with XML in Flash wondered if this would suffice. This would mean I could easily build a user interface in Flash for the shop-owner to access the information (it also saves me having to learn MySQL).

The shop would link into a Paypal shopping cart which I will probably buy rather than make myself.

I am also wondering about the security side of things, obviously payments will be processed within the Paypal website but how secure would the database be, are there any precautions I should take? What sort of hosting services should I be looking for?

Your help with any of my questions would be very much appreciated.

Thanks everyone,

Shop Cart Functionality With Array
How exactly do I emulate a shopping cart? I don't want to actually send any info, I just want to have the person click on something they want, then later be able to review the items "collected".

My prof "showed" us how and this is what I have (but it doesn't work).

PHP Code:

addToCart.onPress = function() {
    descSound.stop();
    _global.collect_array.push("pieceThumb");
    trace(_global.collect_array);
    if (_global.current < _global.collect_array.length) {
        _global.current = _global.current +1;
        _root.mainCont.cartContent.cartItems.attachMovie(_global.collect_array[current-1], currentshown, 1000, {_x:0, _y:0});
    }
}

(I added the _global. thinking if it was a global variable, it might work. It didn't work before either, when the variable was just declared in the same AS window as the above function.)

addToCart is the instance name of the movie clip you click on to add the item to the cart. mainCont.cartContent.cartItems is the path to the movie clip where I want the items to show up.

pieceThumb is the name of the movie clip I want added to the cart (the name of the clip, not the instance name). Pushing this to the array works, as when it is traced, the word "pieceThumb" shows up.

PHP Code:

cartLink.onPress = function() {
    _root.mainCont.gotoAndStop("shopCart");
    //haltActions.apply(exitLink);
    descSound.stop();
    _root.mainCont.cartContent.cartItems.attachMovie(_global.collect_array[0], _global.currentshown, 1000, {_x:-200, _y:10});
}

cartLink is the link to the shopping cart, so that when you click on it, this function is called. I'm assuming it makes the items show up, but nothing appears. So I'm assuming this is what's broken.

Can you please tell me what's wrong?

Flash Graphics Vs Paint Shop
Hi all,

I've been wondering about this and was curious to know wether anyone had any opinions on it that might broaden my percept of the matter.

I'm wondering, primarily, about how people decide whether to use imported imagery as opposed to something drawn in flash?

I've just finished my first site and I found that much of the time in places I would have liked to used more finely drawn art, it was to much of a boost in the file size and thus the loading time too.

Flash Base Image / Sign Shop
I am working on a web site that sells various products using a product call
swiffcart. It always me to add an image or a Flash file within a cube for a
product (www.swiffcart.com).

A client wishes to enable their customers to alter a sign's colour, text or
images etc the use that image to print the signs. eg:

A std sign has a red backgound
10 lines of non changable text
3 lines of changable text
1 logo image that can be changed.

So how do I go about the above.

I know how to allow the user to change the text of a text box but hpw do I
then create an new flash file or image from the changed sign.
How do I allow the user to browse / drag an image into the flash movie.

Also on the text ensure if he only enters 2 lines of text the text expands
to 'fill' the text area.

I suppose what I am looking for is a flash equivlant of a simplified desktop
publishing app.

Once the sign is finished I then show / email the client the new sign image
he authorises it then the job is printed.

Any help or info appreciated

Cheers

GetURL Stops Working After Loading Coldfusion Shop
Oke, I have this very weird problem. I've made a menu for a site in flash. Just some basic stuff, using geturl to load pages into the mainframe. I've done this many times before, only now things aren't working anymore. Here's the problem:
I've got a menuframe and a mainframe. One button in the menu calls a coldfusion page and places it in the mainframe. After that none of the other buttons execute their geturl commands anymore. The menu responds to the mouseclicks, but the geturl command doesn't work anymore. This only happens after opening the shop. As long as you don't open the shop everything works great.
Does anybody have any idea what could be wrong? I've tried everything I could thingk of, even loading the shop through an html file that calls the shop with the onload function in the body tag.

Thanks for any advice you can give me.

Help Pizza Shop Game- Buttons, Drag And Drop..etc
Hello, Im new here to the forum and joined today. I have been on this website for around 2 years now and was thinking about joining the forum, but never realy wanted any help! Im a newbie to Flash to be honest and only know the basics. I have created drag and drop dress up games and used basic non roll over buttons to go from frame to frame- I also know basic animation and sound. I have joined the forum to get help with this question to be honest, but please don't take this the wrong way- I am not good with flash therefore I cant help and I will probably asking more questions than answering them! This is my first post and hopefully I will get a response from you very clever people!
------------------------

For my first 'good' game, I didnt wan't it to be too complex so I decided to dp a mix of what I think I know already which is - Drag and drop, Basic Buttons and some animating skills. I have created the actual drawings and put them into a Flash document so now you could see what I am attempting to create.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1.../PizzaShop.swf
I would like for when you click an ingredient, some pieces of the ingredient to go on the pizza base, then you would be able to drag the ingredients round enabling the 'player' to customize there pizza. Hopefully when you have finished creating your pizza you press a button named finish then a small random animation should appear of judges rating your pizza. If this is possible I would be EXTREMELY happy to hear any ways of doing so... (the animation bit at the end is not needed)...

Thanks in advance and I have to tell you im not a bright spark so please make your replys as easy as possible! Thanks again..
