Hi,
I've been researching the setup of an online store with Flash, and am slowly working my way along the steps. I feel that I know enough ActionScript and PHP/MySQL to get started with coding the first bits of this. I've selected a web host, purchased SSL hosting, and have received a secure certificate so that now users can visit my site at http://...com OR https://....com. I'm going to set up http://....com to immediately redirect users to the https version.
The first trouble that I've run into is that whenever someone accesses the https site, (unless they've set preferences otherwise), they'll see this nag from IE:
"Downloading non-secure content from a secure Web site
The Web site you are viewing is a secure site. It uses a security protocol such as SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) or PCT (Private Communications Technology) to secure the information you send and receive.
When sites use a security protocol, information that you provide, such as your name or credit-card number, is encrypted so that other people can’t read it. However, this Web page also contains items that do not use this secure protocol.
Given what you know about this Web site and your computer, you must decide whether to continue working with this site.
If you do not feel confident about working with this site, click No."
Obviously, this is not going to inspire confidence among potential buyers. I absolutely do not want to resort to using XHTML, largely because I've worked with Flash for so long that I would hate having to kick the user out to a standard HTML form after they've visited my carefully constructed Flash site(where one of the goals is to sell Flash animation).
I'm guessing that I'm in a real bind here, but wanted to ask first before panicking. Any help appreciated. :)
