Except for the Flash part, you're pretty much described a "PHP Shopping Cart" which is a recurring, make that never-ending, thread here. Your Flash <-> MySQL part... Well, unless you want to use Ming which uses PHP to generate Flash movies on the fly, it's pretty much not really a topic you'll find much knowledge about on this list. I guess I'm saying that you actually have TWO different modular systems to find/write and integrate: #1. PHP Shopping Cart for the store backend. #2. Flash <-> MySQL for the store front-end. You can take out "auto parts" in your Google searches, because, really, it doesn't matter a whole hell of a lot if you sell auto parts or llama saddles, the basic principles of the software behind the CMS are the same. I think if you Google for the separate systems, without auto parts, you're gonna be overwhelmed by the answers rather than having slim pickings. Which might be a different problem altogether, but you can find shopping cart recommendations in the archives from the past two days, weeks, months, or years, take your pick. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm
