Product Comparison Application

Question

Hi All,
I attended an Abobe 'Fully Loaded Tour' today and during the
Flash session, the presenter showed an application - in this case
on a digital camera site where thumbnails of all cameras were
initially shown. The user could then either move sliders or enter
values directly, such as price range, mega pixels, card type etc
and as these were chosen, the number of images (and therefore
products) decreased or increased. A very effective product locator.
I wonder if anyone has built anything similar? We develop a
lot of e-commerce systems where data is stored in Access or SQL
Server etc and thumbnails/detail images are available. What would
be required is the flash interface and the admin interface to
populate the flash application from the database.
If anyone would be kind enough to point us in the direction
of where to start, it would be much appreciated.
Best wishes
Dave

I have never used this droplet.
I am not able to find any parameter named elementName in it's api docs .
ColorSizeDroplet (ATG Commerce Reference Store API)
Oracle ATG Web Commerce - Product Detail Pages
Try this:
<dsp:droplet name="/atg/store/droplet/ColorSizeDroplet">
      <dsp:param name="skus" param="product.childSKUs" />
       <dsp:param name="product" param="product" />
       <dsp:param name="elementName" value="colorObject" />
             <dsp:oparam name="output">
                   <dsp:droplet name="/atg/dynamo/droplet/ForEach">
                    <dsp:param name="array" param="color" />
                     <dsp:oparam name="output">
                                  colors found
                       </dsp:oparam>
                       <dsp:oparam name="empty">
                                   empty clothing sku found
                       </dsp:oparam>
                    </dsp:droplet>
             </dsp:oparam>
             <dsp:oparam name="empty">
                    No clothing sku found
             </dsp:oparam>
      </dsp:droplet>
I think it should work,
If it doesn't work, enable logdebug, It will help u to trace the problem.
