Hi,
thanks for your answers, but you misunderstood the question a little bit
I think (or I misanderstand your answers). I only wanted to include an
existing flash object (which comes from a web ressource of the
manufactures web page, for example embed the following lines of code
instead of the image:
<script type='text/javascript'
src='http://www.bic-media.com/dmrs/js/widget/DMRWidget.js'></script>
<script type='text/javascript'>try {new DMRWidget('9783481025038',
'skin=black,buyButton=no,download=no,lang=de');} catch (e) {}</script>
but I think, I have already a suggestion:
I changed the productdetail.ftl, so where the image is placed on the
site, I decide wether to place the image or to include the appropriate
flash-object via java script. As this has to be configurable I have to
change the product configuration and add some new fields.
By the way: As this is the first day evaluating OfBiz I was impressed,
that I could manage these. So great work, folks.
Thanks a lot.
with best regards,
Marco

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.

would you say focusing on just compiled swf first then possibly
expanding would be a good path to follow?

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.

I always assume someone will contribute.

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?

you still need a way to work within the ofbiz framework.

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.

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.

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.

Hi all,
we want to embed flash-objects instead of the image in the
product
detail view (in the ecommerce-module). For example to show a
reading
rehearsal. But this has to be configurable, as the most
products
still
needs a normal image while some of them needs the
flash-objects.
Would
that be much work to realise.
Thanks for any advises.
with best regards,
Marco Westermann
