RE: FLASH: E-Commerce Site - Return To FLash Made Catalog URL

[Branden Hall]

You can jump directly to a frame using Javascript, though I don't know this

shopping cart program so I really can't say if you could use it with

Flash... my gut tells me that with some smart use of JS and Flash you could

though.

Check out www.boo.com . Seems to be a neat combination of java, flash and

html. Although I had problems when actually going to checkout (!?)


With respect to the "Continue Shopping" pointer, I don't think you can jump

to a frame within a flash movie, so using the ShopSite module may not be as

easy as simply plugging in say a javascript:back button or redirect script.


Please keep me/list informed of your progress as this sounds very

intere$ting...


anyone else?
