Not sure why you would want to use flash for an e-comm site, and this is coming from a person that tries to use flash all the time even when it isn't necessarily appropriate.
That being said, we used oscommerce and had a store up and running in less than a week. I was pretty impressed with it. If you absolutely need to use flash I would suggest using a hybrid approach of keeping track of the items in flash and passing the items to the php cart at checkout. I don't know how easy it is to make flash secure, and that would be my biggest worry. I haven't used it but here is a flash e-comm engine. http://www.flashcart.com/ Good Luck, Ryan -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bjorn Schultheiss Sent: Sunday, April 02, 2006 8:53 PM To: 'Flashcoders mailing list' Subject: RE: [Flashcoders] Flash e-commerce site The e-commerce website is not easy to achieve in Flash. My recommendation, 1. don't assume it to be easy. 2. any amount of time you believe it will take you times it by 6. 3. don't bother with oscommerce. You're better off with a proper OOP backend where the business tier is separated from view. 4. most valuably, wait for FB2, data-binding, view states and all the new features will cut your development time to a third of the previous. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Helios Pregioni Bayma Sent: Sunday, 2 April 2006 1:19 PM To: flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Subject: [Flashcoders] Flash e-commerce site Hi, I have to define what technologies and how much I´ll ask for an e-commerce Flash website. I pretend using PHP and MySQL and did read that it´s better using already made codes, is it true? Does anyone knows a good one? The store will accept payment with all credit cards and Pay Pal. I have experience using PHP and MySQL but never did an online store, so I´ll thank any help about this.
