If you want to upload like images that is one effort. Like provide the
upload for swf files on the EditProductContent page, and store them.
Also determine if the swf replaces the which of the Image files, like in
the upload feature

if you just want to ftp into the image folder the swf files that would
be the easiest. then just put in the swf file name in the images manually.

have not researched if the rendering engine is file specific or if it
will just put file in the EditProductContent image. you can give it a
try and see.

come to think of it you would have to have the rendering engine add the
support information for a swf file as well have parms in the
EditProductContent that would be passed to the rendering engine.

Re: Using flash instead of the product-image in detail view

Flash movies can have a variety of information passed to them from the
freemarker templates. You could create a 'master' flash movie and load
components dynamically through the params for the swf file or through swf
javascript handler. You can also wrap jpgs in a flash wrapper and load them
in dynamically as well.
There are a variety of libraries for generating swf files from scratch also.

Re: Using flash instead of the product-image in detail view

Wouldn't the license incompatibility only come into play if you try to
redistribute those other libraries with ofbiz? You could write handlers and
connections for them and everything short of actually shipping them with
your code.
What if you didn't intend to redistribute?

Re: Using flash instead of the product-image in detail view

In reply to this post by BJ Freeman

As far as that goes- you could contribute, as long as you didn't try to
package your dependencies also. Like how we have configurations and support
for mysql, but don't include mysql in the ofbiz package. "For this part go
here" etc etc.

Re: Using flash instead of the product-image in detail view

Yes- especially since most product catalogs will have a style guide of
specific brand related traits that can live locally in the same swf file for
all the products. Things like internally embedded fonts, images and
placement can all live in and get re-used by the same swf file. Swf files
can also call other swf files and xml files to get content. Since you can
also load mp3 and jpgs from the xml and flash wrappers, its unlikely that
you'd need to generate a swf from scratch
For most applications for catalog items you'd never really need to generate
the swf itself dynamically- even graphs and other vector based drawings can
be made from params passed in.

There are some tools out there for making graphs and dynamically generated
swfs, but the few I found were bsd or closed.

for your personal system that is a viable way.
but it will cost a client to have a new consultant to get familar with

Re: Using flash instead of the product-image in detail view

BJ, what if I made an *.fla source file and included its compiled code- the
swf. For example- an embedded flash player for mp3's that could be purchased
as a digital item. I'd also put comments in the fla code explaining how to
pass some basic params through the freemarker template into it.
Would you want to / be able to include this in ofbiz? You would need to have
Flash to compile it- or use it as is by changing the xml mp3 list file and
sample mp3.

Can it be apache licensed since its source file is also given? (the fla)

Todd:
my original suggestion is the quickest and follows the model.
it is up a level from your suggestion.
This way no user has to know about coding.
For you, to implement the way I suggest, it would probably mean
extending an entity or creating a new one, to store the parameters,
updating EditProductContent and create a method to render the flash with
it parameters.
you can put in a url in the EditProductContent that can be used for
external sources, like grabbing it from another site if the URL includes
a Http:// and add a method to use the appropriate parameters.
Some one can always then write an fla file compile externally and put it
in ofbiz, for fancy stuff.

atleast that is my 2 cents, but not the only way to do it.

one other possibility if all the parms can be fixed or generated from
the current model, is use a FlsTemplate.ftl
it would have all the parms based on what ever you want.
so the only real varible would be the location of the "image"
so if you put a fls file in the picture you file would be called to
display the flash.

Re: Using flash instead of the product-image in detail view

In reply to this post by BJ Freeman

Dear sir,
I am new to ofbiz and working on e-commerce application. But cannot understand how to add flash movie or image on an ecommerce site. I have read this forum posting but can grasp a very little. Can anybody give me a very basic from where to start for developing a flash enable ecom site.

Please help me.Thanks.
