Ordering tool in Flash

#1

Post by Aeowyn »

Hi Nerdlings!

so, I want to create a tool that people can download, that will have the following features: a page where you insert your name, and click continue. when that's done, I'll have a small tree of pages listing the various products that I make by category, then by specific item, and finally let you pick the colour. It MUST save the information at every stage, so for instance you climb the tree to 'black zip wallet' you need to be able to ALSO select a 'brown velcro bag', etc, then when you're done you click 'place order' and it emails the information to me AND gives you a total price and reveals my banking details. I think the last bit will be dead simple, merely a change of frame, but getting it to save the information and email it to me is the hard bit. HALP! anyone know of a good tutorial or 5?

Summary:
I need nested drop-down menus
I need it to save every bit of information
I also need the option to remove an item/colour
I need it to email the info to me
Everything else, I think I can handle

THANKS NERDLINGS!

You can create a google form that does all of that, no programming skills needed: https://support.google.com/drive/answer/87809?hl=en

Flash isnt meant for things like that, any skills you learn from creating a flash form will probably not be usable on game design, rather try learning flash animation :)
