View Full Version : Pulling in dynamic flash content


Odd Fact

We use a hosted shopping cart for one site. Normally the company host a full site for clients but we do prefer to keep some parts of the site on our own server. To help with search results they did build a home page for the cart. On the cart is one of those nice flash slide shows things like on some ebay auctions. I would like to be able to pull that slideshow into our part of the site.

The hosted cart:

I have left a message for the provider. I normally have to go through my customer rep before the matter is turned over to the tech side. Sometimes there answers are quick and not thought out, so I though I would post here for ideas.

I don't quite understand what you are asking. Why not just copy the code, change the address info so that it is directly linking so you can view the flash file on whatever site? :|

Yeah, you should be able to just load the flash file into the web page where your own main website is, providing your host for the shopping cart allows it.

The file is dynamically created on their server. I am trying to see if they have code to pull in the file. It is similar to those ebay slide shos in auction. I trying to figure out an easy way to grab the file.

Even if the file is dynamically generated on their side, it should still be outputted as a flash file - right? So assuming you pass the right parameters or just use the existing URL, you should be able to load it on your website... if they allow you to!
