Integrate Flash Actionscript with Virtuemart Shopping Cart
We just love to create animated flash websites. For the most part, the sites created for clients in flash, are mostly informational, with one or two functional forms. Recently we came across a client that needed a full e-commerce website, but still wanted to use flash animation to make their site look more elegant and eye catching.
Creating the flash, xml website was an easy task for our development team, but our client also wanted a Content Management System to manage client orders and sales. I came across the open source Virtuemart Shopping Cart a while back and thought it would be perfect if we could get the products from the flash website added to the virtuemart shopping cart.
This was a special task and very time consuming. But I am happy to say that we have finally completed the task. What a relief!!! As much of a headache that programming could be sometimes, when your finished and you look back at the complete project. It all seems so simple now and you look back thinking, why didnt I think of that days ago. When the photos and animations are completed I will post a link to the finished project. I am also working on a tutorial for anyone else that would like to create a similar site. I searched the web and I found some clothing lines that have sites similar to the website we have created: prada.com and ruehl.com . Flash+Actionscript+Virtuemart = A Beautiful and Functional E-commerce Website.
