FLASH: user interaction second posting

[Stuart Mayhew (Garanti Teknoloji)]

Sorry for the impatience but I wonder if the first mail was read


Hi all,

I was wondering if anybody could talk me through how

such a site feature as this could be produced:


http://www.lumichron.com/clockbuilder.cfm


I have a client who would like to do a very similar

idea with plates, where the user can input a name or

date, plus choose from a selection of variable images.

How would I do this I am not certain, one movie clip

targeting frames?? load movie??(for example say there

is a picture of two people you can change hair colour,

style, and skin colouretc.) also my client is talking

about using coldfusion to gather this information to

add to basket, please if you know how to this then

please pass on the information, this project is new

ground for me and I would appreciate advice or at

least sites that tutor you through producing this.


I appreciate any help I can get on this one


regards


Stuart


PS: I have worked on it today and have now a drag and drop interface, where the selections are dragged to an area which tell targets the image to play(whether plate colour or hair style(I do not know if this is a good way to go)) at the same time a series of text fields create a small list of the items selected, then I have a submit button which uses send:post would this be okay for coldfusion? Also I have been wondering??? I would like to have a series of palette tool menus(drag and drop menus) where the user can drag and drop the graphics into the plate which will tell target and update the information/image, is this a good idea and is it possible to drag and drop graphics out of a drag and drop menu(think of the illustrator colour swatches method idea where you can literally drag colours from the palatte in to the drawing to colour the image, that kind of thing)


again any help is appreciated I feel a tad lost and confused to it all


thanks


Stuart
