Re: FLASH: Shopping cart linkage

[Robbert - Jan]

If you want to open the page "shoppingcart.cfm" in the current browser

window than you can use "Get URL".

inside the "Get URL" action add some other actions that set the variables (I

don't know if your using multiple timelines)

All the hidden fields have to be set as a new variable in Flash. so it would

look something like this.


on Release

  set variable "quantity" = 1

  set variable "store" = "cctvcity"

  set variable "desc" = "Colour Camera Premier Kit"

  set variable "number" = "PREMKIT1"

  set variable "price" = "200.00"

  set variable "backto" = "www.cctv-city.co.uk"

  set variable "image" = "add"

  Get URL

"https://www.shopcreator.com/mall/shopcreatorcart/shoppingcart.cfm"

end


now you will probably have to modify shoppingcart.cfm to handle the input

image. I just set a new variable "image" to the value "add". The cfm page

has to check the variable "image" and display the appropiate image. (I'm not

familliar with ColdFusion so I can't help you with that.)


This is all that has to be done in Flash.
