Flash shopping cart..... Help Please

Hi Guys,
I Would like to add a shopping cart to my flash website. The
current website is working with actionscript 2. selling 10+ items
Anyone knows of a good tutorial, book, program or advise that
would help me from start to finish? should i use xml or php? Any
open source codes with instructions? what can i use to processes
credit cards inside of flash?
Really need the help, thanks

quote:
because of the questions you're asking, you should off-load
the handling of secure transactions to a third party. paypal is the
most well-known of these. check their website for details on how
you can accept a variety of payments, including credit cards. it's
relatively simple (compared to creating your own secure shopping
cart).
Thank you kglad, What would u recommend i do for the coding
of the shopping cart before the total amount is sent to a 3rd
party? Like the add to cart, remove from cart, total etc.

How can I add some statements to the following program to check whether the selected item has been tried to add to the shopping cart the second time so that the user can be warned "You can only choose this item once!"?

After you retrieves the shopping cart items from the database, store the items in a HashSet, so when the user adds a new item, you just need to check whether the HashSet contains that item, if it is already in the set, show the warning. If not exist, insert the item to your database. You can use the response.sendRedirect() method to redirect the user to a warning page.
HashSet is a very good data structure since it doesn't contain duplicate elements. It is also extremely fast.
String itemID = 2323; // some item id in your catalog
HashSet itemset = new HashSet(); // you should add your existing cart items to this HashSet
// no do the checking
if(itemset.contains(itemID) {
response.sendRedirect("warning.jsp"); // forward it to a warning page
return; // processing no further
} else {
// in here, do the db update, and display the cart to the user

Error 1011 in shopping cart - HELP

I selected The Postal Service "Give Up" album. iTunes will not let me purchase it, or remove it from the list. It will also not let me purchase anything else while it is on the list - and I can't remove it. When I try to purchase I get the message "Your shopping cart's content has changed. Please review your shopping cart and click Buy Now."
When I try to remove the album, I get the "Could not remove an item from your cart. An unknown error occurred (1011)"
Help me out here - I can't do anything!

Ok so I admit it I have been using it as a wishlist and its big...
I can modify my behavior to the wishlist.
But that doesn't solve the current problem that I get this error and I can't do anything with the cart. Acesss, buy, delete... nothing.
BTW I'm a proud cube owner.

Shopping Cart Opinion, please

Which of these two shopping carts for DW is better and why?
eCart 4.0.2
or
Cartweaver for ASP.
Opinions based on experience, please!

Hi
I can only comment on Cartweaver php, it was suggested on the
forum and I've
found the addin/program to be excellent. The backup on their
forum whilst
perhaps not the fastest ( within a day - ok I'm spoilt by
this forum:-) is
very good and comprehensive. The PHP version is easily
customisable and as
"it says on the box" I created a simple site within minutes.

Shopping Cart - Help?

I'm new to web design, and self taught, so go easy on me, haha. I have a site up, that sells organic mattresses and I need to add a shopping cart to it so customers can purchase online. I've added a buy now button and I want that to take them to another page where they can customize the bed and then purchase it online. You can look at it if you'd like; www.dremata.com
I have a google checkout account, which comes with a shopping cart widget but it's limited and I need a shopping cart with more options/more customizeable because there are a lot of different options the customer can pick that effect price.
I've been googling shopping carts for 6 hours now. Everything I've found turns out to be an entire online store. Which I'm not looking for, because I've already designed my website and set up the product pages. I'm just looking to add a shopping cart. I can't, for the life of me, find a premade shopping cart that I can just add to my site. At this point, I'm assuming I'm really ignorant on the subject and you can't do that?
I don't know too much about shopping carts, or how they work. So if anyone could help me out, let me know what my options are and the different ways to add a shopping cart, I'd really appreciate it!
- Thanks

You've made a common newbie mistake of putting the wagon ahead of the horse. Ideally, you should build your site pages within your shopping cart system. IOW, the product IDs, descriptions, prices, options, etc... are stored in server-side databases. Content is dynamically populated to your site pages. This is the price of doing things on your own without first consulting an expert. All is not lost though. Find out which programming languages your server supports (ASP, PHP, ColdFusion...)
Have a look at Cartweaver and Web Assist They each have e-commerce extensions that can be used with DW.
Good luck,

Using the flash uninstaller/ problems/HELP PLEASE

Look I'm very ill and I can only concentrate so long so
please don't think I'm a jerk. Nothing has gone right as of late,
i'm worried that if i do it wrong flash will not work at all and I
won't be able to fix it. I only can go on the computer certain
times because of headaches.I need to know three things. When using
the flash uninstaller I'm thinkiing it uninstalls all flash
products on your computer? I have two flashplayers that are named
flash player helpers, do they get deleted? I have firefox and IE
browsers, I need to make two downloads right because one is for
firefox and one is for IE? Then Do you need to install the flash
version NPSWF_32 for IE or just instasll the newest flah for IE?
just need to know because I have computer issues and flash now
doesn't work on certain sites. Why would flash stop on some sites
on both browsers? They are two different flash,right. THANKS to
anyone who answered this

The Flash Player is available in two technologies..
1. ActiveX control.. Used by all Windows versions of Internet
Explorer ONLY
2. A plugin. Used by all other browsers and all other OS
Yes, you do need to install both if you use IE and other
browsers.
You should NOT have to worry about uninstalling, unless
something goes wrong with the install, which does happen sometimes.
But for millions of people a day the install goes just fine and
they have no worries.
I don't know what a 'Flash Player helper' is. YOu should NOT
need to worry about the plugin and/or activeX control files
themselves.
Launch IE, go to
http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer
and do the install, then quit IE.
Then launch Firefox and repeat. That plugin install will be
used by anything else on your machine that requires the plugin
(except maybe for google chrome.. i haven't tested that)
You should be OK with the basic update install. If you get
stuck you can open a support webcase and we can guide you. Or in
some cases (especially if troubleshooting can be a challenge) we
recommend taking your machine to a local professional. But that's
fairly rare.

Flash 8 Workspace Help Please

Hello Everybody,
I was playing around with the tools on my Flash program and I
screwed up my workspace. I used to see all the layers in my
timeline and now for some reason I don't see the background
anymore. It didn't ruin the show or anything but I can't seem to
figure out how to go back to how it was.
Can someone please help me?
This is what I see now:
http://www.southbeachgroup.com/screenshot_02.jpg
Whereas before I could see it with the background like this:
http://www.southbeachgroup.com/screenshot_01.jpg
The two used to be combined..I could see the grey background
and all the things on the timeline.....
Thank you,
Allie

Is that under Window > Workspace Layout > Default

Sound not working in Flash Builder. Help please.

So, here's my situation. I keep trying to put an mp3 in Flash Builder to try and make sounds happen, but each time I do it only plays the beginning of it and stops midway through. My music is working at 44100 Hz with a 32 bit rate (tried changing it to 16, but Audition won't let me). Here's my code.
package
          import flash.display.Sprite;
          import flash.events.Event;
          import flash.events.KeyboardEvent;
          import flash.media.Sound;
          import flash.media.SoundChannel;
          import flash.ui.Keyboard;
          [SWF(width = "550", height = "400",
          backgroundColor = "#FFFFFF", frameRate = "60")]
          public class SoundThing extends Sprite
                    [Embed(source="../sounds/try1.mp3")]
                    private var Try:Class;
                    private var _try:Sound = new Try();
                    private var _tryChannel:SoundChannel = new SoundChannel();
                    public function SoundThing()
                              stage.addEventListener
                                        (KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, keyDownHandler);
                    public function keyDownHandler(event:KeyboardEvent): void
                              if (event.keyCode == Keyboard.SPACE)
                                        _tryChannel = _try.play();
I'm not sure what the issue is. Please help me. Thank you!

I would say that either the OP needs two tabs somewhere to make his headings and line items align,Exactly what I was thinking. As this sample code illustrates, the b will not line up under Column#2. Perhpas OP needs to use a Formatter or the printf method instead.
    StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
    sb.append("Column#1");
    sb.append("\tColumn#2\n");
    sb.append("a");
    sb.append("\t");
    sb.append("b");
    System.out.println(sb);

Flash Gallery - Need Help Please!

Hi, I want to make an image gallery like this (see image) using Flash. The gallery uses an .XML file to dynamically load the images, so all you need to do is size your images and then add them to the appropriate folder, then edit the .XML file. The thumbnails scroll too. Can this be done in Flash? Does somebody know where I can find an .XML file that will do this.
I didn't want to use a proprietary gallery solution, because they require you to have their logo on your gallery page etc. and I'd like to design the page to my liking.
I have little programming experience on how to do this so I was hoping for some help. Are there files around that will allow me to do this? I am also open to other suggestions that might be better, but I'd like the look of my gallery to be similar to the example I've posted.

If you are using MX 2004, change your Google search terms to be: "AS2 XML gallery tutorial"
The search results should be your best bet for finding advice/examples/suggestions as to some different ways to build a thumbnail gallery.

Flash Drive Unreadable - HELP PLEASE!!

"The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer." Story of my life.
I have a 32gb Micro Center brand flash drive. It's completely full of pictures, videos, documents, and files. Every time I stick it into my Macbook Pro, it tells me its unreadable. It gives me three options: Initialize, Ignore, Eject. I don't want to mess around with anything until I know what's wrong and what I should do. I've tried putting my flash drive into PCs, but it's still unreadable. I always remove my devices safely so I'm not sure what the problem is. The flash drive is in excellent condition. Maybe if anyone knows how to talk me through the Initialize option, that'd be helpful, cause frankly, I don't know much about softwares and such.
I've heard of people sending out there flash drives and getting them fixed. Is this an options? I'd only do it if it was guaranteed to work without losing any files. Is there anyway I can troubleshoot it at home and fix this?
I will be checking this post often to reply to any questions or answers. It's urgent that I access my flash drive!

Initializing it will format it and you will definitely lose everything if it isn't lost already.
Not being readable on either a PC or Mac is a bad sign.
It may be worth taking it into MicroCenter and see if they have any ideas. Most recovery services are rather expensive and Google is your friend in finding such a service.

Troubleshooting Flash DW-Need help please.

While working on a project, I suddenly found that I was no longer able to view my flash content once loaded to server. Locally, all content looks fine. I've been converting .wma files to .flv so I thought it was my conversion process but I ran some test on existing flash projects done in the past and those do not show on server either when placing into new DW index files. So, it appears my flash files are not the problem, it appears to be how Dreamweaver is embedding the file. By looking at the code below, it doesn't appear to be embedding at all and all the additional code is completely new to me. None of my previous Dreamweaver files imported .swf files with this code. Can someone please take a look and point me in the right direction? If this is kosher, I have a different problem but I'm stumped. I've been fooling around with this for hours. Here is an active link in addition to the code below. Just a junk file but acceptable for reference. http://www.polarpitcher.com/testing.html

Flash picture, need help please

Hi
For a website I want to make a picture of a map to be used so
that when someone clicks on a certain area then they hare
hyperlinked to a certain web page. i have the picture, how do I cut
it up, using Flash (I'm told) so that this will happen?
Thanks

depends on what format the picture is in - was it drawn with
flash tools or imported as a raster image?
you may not need to cut it up if you want to simply place hot
spots over it that act like buttons -
this is easily achieved with "invisible" buttons - meaning
button symbols with only a shape in their
HIT state.
If you need to "cut-up" an imported image then you should
really use your graphics editor
(photoshop) for this. But if you don't then try breaking
apart the bitmap in flash and using the
lasso tool to select sections.
hope this helps.

Thank you.

First, give us some information
what is your operating system & version?
what is your web browser & version?
what is your Flash Player version (http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html)?
Next, what does it mean "my internet [...] is restarting"; your internet connection, or your browser? Please explain.
Finally, the latest Flash Player version is 10.1; FP10 is an old version.

On start up all that displays is a white back ground and a flashing ? Mark, help please

? Please Can somebody help please
