Taking suggestions for Flash related contributions

I used to be a bit more involved in the zen community a few years ago when I worked on a store for a relative. I recently re-visited zen-cart to see how things were going since my current position has put me in the ecommerce field. I'd like to contribute again and due to my skill-set and interest (Flash/Flex) I'd like to hear from any zen users who are interested in Flash related contributions.

Some areas I'd like to look into:

  • general flash support, ie a contribution that enables easy embedding of flash media assets as well as supporting non-flash users by embedding image alternatives

  • product image viewing, zooming, cycling through sets, etc

  • product picker, ie a contribution which would allow attributes of products to be chosen, then having the product image dynamically updated to reflect the choices

  • more ambitious, but a re-usable product configurator of some kind, similar to above but more advanced, something like building a computer out, etc where a user wouldn't have to step through various pages but stay in one place

If anyone has any input please post it here. Some of these things may already be taken care of, I haven't searched around all of the forum yet, there seems to be a lot here since I last visited.

Re: Taking suggestions for Flash related contributions

Flash Attributes would be nice... something like seen in this flying disc artwork sampler to select different styles on a product... although it seems like this would all be very customized for each store/catalog/product..

Re: Taking suggestions for Flash related contributions

It is possible to build something that is driven off of enough meta data that the flash module wouldn't have to be customized for every product needing the feature. Good suggestion.
