Using the Spreadshirt Flash Shop

Because Flash won't read data outside of it's own domain (for security reasons) you need to use a proxy script to relay requests from Flash to the service. (Unfortunately Spreadshirt's crossdomain.xml isn't open enough, which is probably understandable.) The PHP proxy script example below is a first attempt and has not been checked for security etc., so use it at your own risk!

Using this proxy also means:

• you have to supply your own version of the WSDL file with an appropriate change to the soap:address element (at the bottom of the file)
• and you'll have to update the urls in Service.as file and recompile the movie.

I'll post examples when I get time.

If you have a lot of articles or designs in your shop, shifting all this XML around can really slow things down. In reality, I think it would be better to do most of the heavy lifting with a more complete PHP script and supply the data to the Flash movie in a more lightweight format such as JSON, AMF or SWX
