    Default Inserting a flash template to work with Zen Cart?

    Hello,
    I am working with a company that wants to sell custom prints on organic cotton T-shirts. My client wants to allow customers the ability to upload images and input text of their choice to compile a custom print, and from what I've seen, competitors allow customers to do this with a flash application. While I am working on finding a template or someone with more knowledge of actionscript to build the application, I want to know if it is even possible to incorporate this with ZenCart so that the final design created by the flash application can be submitted as an order.

    An example of this is at http://www.uberprints.com/studio/

    If this cannot be acheived, is it easy to allow customers to upload their images with ZenCart and just apply it to an order?

    Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

    Thanks,
    Tessa

    Yes, you can embed a flash object onto a given page, feed it parameters via an XML feed, and once an item is built, post the data back to Zen Cart. You'll have to build yourself a suitable feed for the data (there is not one built-in), and study the form fields of a typical attribute-laden product page in order to determine the appropriate data to post. Not a quick or simple task, but nonetheless do-able.

    Yes -- you can associate file-upload attributes with individual products. These files will be linked to the order and available for processing by the order-fulfillment person.
