I have been chatting with people about building a shopping cart, a small number have said that it is very insecure to build a shop entirely in Flash, but building just part of it and then processing the last page of the form in a HTML page seems like a waste of time to me… Can Flash handle the entire store process? And is is secure? Also if the page runs in [https://www.mystore.com](https://www.mystore.com), is that secure enough? Or does Flash need to be programmed to handle an SSL certificate?

Also saw [this](http://www.flash-db.com/Tutorials/newstore/index.php) tutorial, but they talk about only using AS1 and not even looking at AS2… Is it pointless following this tutorial? Am I going to be building something the ‘incorrect’ way so too speak?

I value everyones opinions on here so thanks in advance! :thumb:
