I hear ya Bob, that's why I finally broke down and bought the whole package, it was gonna nickel and dime me to death otherwise LOL. Glad you got it figured out and gl on it

"About to go live" How soon is "about to be"? I assume you mean released.

The flash menu builder is simple and easy to use but it has its flaws. There is only absolute positioning on the button text (left, right, center) so if you create a custom button with a drop shadow your text will be off. Also I did not see any way to space the buttons(vertical menu). Adding a minimal drop shadow to my custom button spaced them further apart which solved that problem(but created the other issue). It would be better if one could insert clear one pixel gif spacers for instance. But overall it's a nifty program. The upload features in it and the form program for instance are a real time saver.

I'd like to ask you about the form input you have in your product detail pages.
Did you create that in form builder and how did you get it the input tied to the product id?

I meant to direct that question to Wolverana

Hiya Artlife,

Yes it's all created in the Form Builder and the product ID isn't really tied to it if you look closely, I made it blank so that the user needs to input the ID number which they can see at the end of each Detail Description which I also put in bold to make sure it was easy to find. I was trying to find a way to tie it into the ID's but couldn't see any possible way to do it so figured, what the heck, they can fill in the number, just as easy as the program can

I see you are right about that (duh lol) I was looking at the code for the beginning of your options.
any forms I create the code looks different though- yours is all as an object class as opposed to a script. Is there a different way to put the form in there than copying the code created in the form builder?
There is this warning for html in the detail page:
Most HTML tags can be used in the long description. Just be careful when adding scripts, as they could conflict with the cart itself.
I need to have a text input field but I am also concerned there will be no way for me to know which order the imput is associated with, since it will be submitted separate from the actual order. So I feel I am probably wasting my time trying to do this.

I figured it out, you get the class and not a script by starting from a blank form and not a template.

hiya again Artlife,

Actually the difference in Object vs. Script comes from the checkbox that you can uncheck in the program in any form that you're creating, be it from scratch or from a template.

In the "Configure Form Settings" area on the Advanced tab, you'll see a checkbox in the top right corner that addresses a "Fix for displaying active content". I never have that checked for a form, I hear so many problems arise from it that I just don't bother to use it at all. I know it has it's use (can't recall off hand what it is, I've asked before and already forgot lol), but that's what the difference is.

As for you using a form for comments, you can do what I did and just make the box for entering the Item ID or whatever key you've assigned it a required field. Once you do that they can't submit unless they have entered that and then there's no mistaking which item it goes to. If it is incorrect, as long as you include an email field for them to enter (use the check box for "Email Address Field" for that field box so it comes from that email address), you can always email them then and ask them more questions about thier comments.

DO keep in mind though that this is a separate form and must be sent separately from submitting an order so it won't be sent when they press buy or add to cart or any of those types of buttons.
I do think this would work just fine for most people wanting comments about things, just doesn't work well when wanting to get information on styles, colors, customization etc. of products since it doesn't get sent with the order. It's doable mind you, just clumsy and a bit more work to pair up orders and comment emails.

Question about Artlife website -- Was the header done in flash? and on the individual pages where you scroll sideways through pictures, was that also done in flash?
