Hello, I am about to start a large project for a new company of mine and will design the site myself to save costs.
I am quite profficient in flash as far as animation, and only animation!
I will have to teach myself a lot during this process, but the main area is databases as i really do not know anything about them.
What i am trying to achieve:
The ability to create user accounts and store a little information, so they can log in next time and their information will be saved (example, their size, age)
When they choose/build up the product, they need to select from 1/10 options for about 6 stages. then when this product is 'created' it places it into my shopping cart/checkout as that item.
So basically. What software do i need to build up a database to store user account information in flash? Does anyone perhaps know a good tutorial site?
How is the best way to go about creating a shopping cart in flash? Would it be much more sensible to purchase some sotware which i load into my flash? If so, does anyone have some recommendations?
I really have no idea how i will tackle the problem of creating the product online through steps. With 6 stages, i would like the choices they have made in 1 2 3 or e.g to be saved so they can go back and forth to make corrections. Would i need to be using variables to save which choices they have made? Or would i put their choices as they make them into a temporary database and then retrieve the final results when adding it the shopping cart? Does anyone have a site i can read up on this? I do not know where to even begin looking
Thank you very much for any help in advance. Sorry for the complete lack of knowledge here
regards
James
