Re: FLASH: Shopping cart application

[Cheri Harder]

Thanks, Donald, but I've already decided to use ASP...various reasons, not

the least of which is that I am already somewhat familiar with VB so the

language will be easier to learn for me.


The question at this point is the "order-in-process" - I am thinking that

the Item #'s and quantities and prices and totals should be saved within the

Flash part of the application, rather than written to the database during

the ordering procedure??? ....or not.
