What my employer wants is to do something similar to what they do with their type setting application. He already has a payment system in place so that is not a problem. I just need to know how to create a flash application like they use for their type setting of invitations, thank you cards, etc...

So what I need is direction on how to create something like what they created for their invitations.

Not that very experienced as a coder unfortunately. I'm still new to AS3. I'm fairly decent with AS2 but I know AS2 won't pull this off. My employer looked at HTML 5 and said he didn't want to use that. So I got the unlucky task of doing this. I know that this is a huge undertaking but I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place. I've been taking online tutorials with AS3 via linda.com and other sites to get myself as good at the coding language as possible.

I don't have a choice in this really. I need to know where I can find a site or multiple sites to find what I need to know to pull this off.

To put it bluntly I'm a graphic designer being put into a coder position without much coding experience. So I know that I'm not qualified to do this but my employer said do it and I have no choice. So if you could please just direct me to where I can find what I need to know I'd be grateful.

Those links were helpful but neither was for my employer. What should I google to find more of those so we can choose a better package?

My employer wants to do something similar to what you did for your client. He already has a shopping cart and online payment in place. What he needs is a solution that will allow him to integrate his own hand built shopping cart and online payment into a flash application that will allow the customers to set their own text. The deconetwork one wasn't what he wanted and the ossdesigners have their own shopping cart built directly into the package and therefore he didn't want that one either. He uses cold fusion for his website server. I did suggest the third party packages but doesn't seem he wants to go that route though he was interested initially. Currently we are trying to deconstruct what tickledpinkdesign has done by decompiling their swf files we were able to download but it's extremely difficult.

If there is any help you could offer I'd appreciate it. I think he wants to go with a hand built one or one that was deconstructed from another site and used for his own. Either way I'm fumbling around and could use all the assistance possible.

Thanks.

I wasn't looking for you to do the work for me. I was hoping to be directed to a site where there would be tutorials and guides on how to do this. I apologize if I came off as asking for someone to do the work for me. Even though I was given this project because I know flash I still want to learn how to do it. Thanks for your help.

I see, thanks for the help. I'll be sure to ask specific questions and get help for each part along the way. Thanks for everything.
