Well Id personally let your server do the conversion from the flash output. This will give you more more scope for error checking and taking the role of this away from flash provides your client with more security.
If you decide later on that you want to add more options to flash you can easily add them and then add the processing routines to your PHP script. You could do the transfers from Flash to your server using Flash remoting (AMFPHP). While your reading is email really the right path to go down? Surely a web based interface to view the orders would be a far better option. You could add the functionality to alter orders before they are processed. You could even add the functiopnality to add a custom handler so when your client clicks a link set up on this interface the file opens in their tshirt program, emails the client to say they are being printed and no more changes can be made...payment is now being collected etc. Cheers, Tom On Sat, 19 Aug 2006 11:48:30 +0100, you wrote: >I am creating an online app in Flash 8 that allows users to design t-shirts >by adding various elements from drop down boxes, and entering some text to >appear on the t-shirt.
