Hello, im new to cms, so i was wondering before i start if some things could be done with drupal. Im thinking about drupal or joomla. I wanna build some websites for personal or small and large buisineses. And what shopping cart is suggested? Free or not?
I have some great flash tools allready, can it be implented?
fight5.com/home/
for example, can such a site be done? If so, can some one tell what the plugin is for that banner rotator?
Is it easy to create custom buttons? Or are there any good out for free?
And any other great MUST have plugins that u know.
And perhaps some good tools to create stuff
Thank you.

drupal has two commerce modules. ubercart.module and ecommerce.module.
rotating of images can be done with modules like rotor.module and views.module + some addons or some quick php snippets.
styling is handled in the stylesheets of the theme.
custom buttons? would be handled with images and css if I understand the question correctly.
must have modules depends soley on what you want to do and what features your site will have. CCK.module and its addons allows you to build content types. Views.module allows you to list content out of the database essentially writing db querries for you.
With buttons is mean, like
With buttons is mean, like the home or about us button.
And i have some flash stuff with html and xml, does that work in drupal?
Im looking through addons and drupal 7 is not out yet, does upgrading give trouble?

home and about us, yes you can create menus or use teh menus available in core. Drupal has a default primary menu as seen on the top of drupal.org
do a search here for flash, there are some module and many explainations about how to work with drupal and flash. Also check out groups.drupal.org there is a group or a few dedicated to drupal and flash.
Drupal 7 is not for consumption yet only testing.
I can't say whether upgrading to drupal 7 will cause issues. Every site upgrade is different depending on the grouping of contrib modules used.
Is there a drag and drop app
Is there a drag and drop app perhaps?

drupal uses the jquery javascript library and some drag and drop features are built directly into core.
Like basic wordpress?

I've never used Wordpress to be able to answer that questyion. The best way to answer some these questions is to install a test site and give drupal a test run. You can also play with Drupal over at http://php.opensourcecms.com/

Yeah, i installed it. Playing with it right now
We created this functionality
We created this functionality with the dynamic display block module.
When you have no experience with the dynamic display block module you can have a look at the
demo site other tutorials or the video tutorial first.
Also have a look at our working EXAMPLES and SITES USING DYNAMIC DISPLAY BLOCK showcase.
Hope this helps you further to make this work or get some ideas from the tutorial.
If you can not make it work or have more question, please make an issue in the issue queue so I can help you better.
