You simply send some variables ( via getURL ) that takes you to a PayPal page. The variables being price, item ans stuff.

There are readymade components and codes for all this on the PayPal site. ( not that easy to find though )

Shopping Cart for instance
https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/websc...-intro-outside

http://www.scripts.com/tools-and-uti...-flash-buttons

There has been plent of threads here. make a search on this board to for more info.

OK, since my next question pertains to this post, I will ask it in here.

The web site that I am working on, also a non-profit site, wishes to add a PayPal link that, once clicked on it (not buying anything, not selecting anything but the link itself) will take you to their account so that you can freely donate.

Now, the information that PayPal sends to you is encrypted, using a HTML form.

So how can I add this to my flash web site (www.alleycatorphans.com), would I just make a button with 'getURL' and add the information in there, or is there something else I am going to have to do, with the 'sncrypted/secure' aspect of the link?

Any help is greatly apprecaited!

To make this easier, I researched some more information here on the FlashKit boards, and got a piece of ActionScript that seemed to be the ideal thing.

Since the ActionScript mimmicked what I had received from PayPal, I was hoping it would be virutally plug-n-play.

I was wrong. =)

Here is the code in its entirety:

on(release) {
ld=new LoadVars()
ld.cmd="_s-xclick"

This piece of code is in an invisible button over the 'Make A Donation' .gif that's from the PayPal site.

Now, once tested this code doesn't indicate that there's a fault or problem, except when you attempt to execute it. It attempts to load (the hard drive spins), but then comes back and say's that there was an error loading the web site, https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr, and say's the 'trace' message, "paypal payment failed!".

If anyone can help me out it would be great, trying to get this portion on the web site by this weekend, because the company is sponsering a fund raiser called 'Santa Paws' for local pet shelters, etc. So any help is greatly apprecaited, and much thanks in advance!!
