Hi, I've been doing some searching online, but can't seem to find a good solution for flash shops. A client of mine wants to sell tracks and albums online; does anyone know where I can start with this?
Thanks in advance.....

Im not sure what your asking?
Are you asking about creating, building you own 'flash shop' (does flash shop mean shopping cart or something?)
Making something that can:
display tracks, with preview to play..etc..
is fairly simple..
charging the customer, and getting them their 'tracks' is something you'd still have to work out..
I mean you coudl add as many tracks as you want to a 'cart' and then use PayPal to check out...
however after that?.. then what? how does this user get his tracks? how do they download them? how do you limit repeat downloads (theft/fraud?)
Thanks for the reply....Quote:

ahh...ok..
yes..so then once you get PayPal email saying payment was received..you just ship out physical album?
yeah in my footer are soem links PayPal 1 & 2 that shoudl help with that check out portion.
but making the 'store' part..is really however you want it to be laid out.
check out this example I did MANY years ago.. (its ugly..the purpose wasnt visual, theme, skinning it...it was the code behind it that was being tested)
this was for shirts.. but could EASILY be used for albums

then I created a little ADMIN panel to update/edit the XML file that powers the 'store'.
its really nothing more than some:
XML for data source (album info)
an array of what you want added to the cart
then loop through this array adding each item to PayPal for checkout.
Hi,
Thanks or the reply and all your links and help. I'm not great at above basic coding, I don't suppose you're freelance!? Or know anywhere I can get step by step instructions?
Hi whispers
i was looking your link but when you click on the item it's added into the cart with multiple entry ?Quote:

Im not sure what your talking about..works fine.
Do you know how it works even?
If your going to the link above... you need to click on the BUY button only 1 time.
if you check out the 'cart' you will it is only added 1 time..
seems like many people have no clue how it works..since I see errors all over the place..
again..this wasnt 'polished'... this is an example of the code/engine/platform..etc I didnt finish themeing or skinning this demo.
just an example of using XML to populate a 'cart'.. and using another interface to edit/update that same XML that the cart uses.
i'm talking about following link coz i've done the same flash cart

-------------------------------------------------
and i'm not talking about the PAYPAL BUY Button i knw how it's work the only problem is!
when you click to add to cart "BUY button" two times & check out the "cart" you will see it's onlly added multipule times it's should be added like 2 quantities with 1 following item rather then adding more & more.
Thxs for ur kindly reply

ahh.. I see what your saying...
instead of making a new entry/item in the cart.. add to the quantity..etc..
Im sure it could be done.. you can:
1.) edit/add to the qty before you hit BUY
2.) edit the QTY at the 'cart' before you 'checkout'..
it was also more work and code because if one thing was different.. (color or size..etc) needs to be new entry instead of just adding to QTY..
and this was done..'many' (many) years ago...
have you got some coding example ? for the following link ?
http://dmstudios.net/demos/PMS/
i'm gonna send you my code 2mrw :)
Im not sure.. I'd have to dig around.. it seriously like 5-6-7 years old!
and I have no doubt I could do a more cleaner job now-a-days..
its really nothing more than an object array...
XML file is loaded..
objects created/added to stage..
if you go to admin section.. same XML is loaded in.. but you can edit it per item..then save out the whole XML string again using a php script.
can you send me the link for admin ?
if you can still sort this out for me i'm b very gr8 full :)

delete has been disabled...cause people have been messing with it of course..
yep ur rite :)
my cart coding is like this.
------------------------------------------------
function onEnterFrame() {
if(itemName_txt.=0) {
itemName_txt.textID = cartid;
}else {
itemName_txt.textID = cartid + 1;
}
}
