Hi there, i’ve been batteling with this for over a week now and i’ve just been unsucessful.
I wonder if someone has got a better solution/theory to solve my problem
I am trying to make an online product selection in flash. So the user goes from stage 1 to 6 choosing different options.
The first stage is where they choose the material. I have over 100 different materials to display! I want to put them in a database so i can update it later and also apply filters on the display page, because each thumbnail needs to store the Picture url for thumnail and main picture, the name of the material, the Price range code, the Colour description, pattern description and the material description.
How can i achieve this?! I really have looked high and low for something that stores it on one page and filters can be applied. It just needs to fill a movie clip with as many thumbnails as it finds in the DB, whilst storing the information for each thumbnail. Eventually i would like to add a button below each thumbnail which says ‘select this one’ which then just sets a variable to the name of the thumnail button they clicked.
Please let me know if i tried to go aboutt his the wrong way? If anyone knows of a great example flash please let me know. I am absolutley stuck here!!
thanks for any help, best regards
