Hi,

I currently have a website that sells Royalty free music and would love to switch over to you system. The main thing that I feel is missing from the Shopping Cart Creator is a simple (small) flash player button, with fastforward and stop, ( that could link to a music file) This would be ideal for customers to be able to audition a product before they decided to buy it, also an option to download the file would be good. Are there any future plans for this to be added. I really love the software, but this is the main thing that is holding me back from switching,

Many Thanks,
Craig

Haven't tried it but just speculating ..... since you can use HTML tags in the description field wouldn't it be possible to imbed your flash object in the description?

I use HTML tags for all my descriptions (including CSS between <style></style> tags) and everything works fine. I'm assuming of course that you would be able to create the necessary flash object. I use Coffee Cup Video Player .... it works great. It creates the flash object for you.

Flash code does work with the shopping cart softwares in case that might be part of your question. If you have some flash code for buttons or players give that a try maybe?

Keep in mind that the flash only works in the description boxes where you use HTML. It will not work in the headers of your web page or any where else. Obvious, but worth mentioning.

Hi guys,

Thanks for the info on this, would somebody be able to explain this to a newbie. I have created a SWF flash player that works fine in my main website, but how do I actually use HTML tags in the description. I tried copying the flash HTML code directly into the HTML button in the detail page with no luck

Many Thanks for your help with this, its th last piece of the jigsaw for me at the moment,
