Adding HTML

[Giveuinsight]

How would I add an HTML tag into flash? I want to add a buy now button but it requires HTML (paypal)? Thanks

You can add it into a textfield. Let's say you have a Dynamic Textfield, given the instance name, myTxt - use this code on your frame:

myTxt.html = true;
myTxt.htmlText = "<font color='#FF0000'>THIS TEXT IS RED, <b>BOLD</b>, <font size='50'>HUGE</font>, AND <i>ITALIC</i>";

Just make sure to switch quotes, "" to apostrophes '' otherwise they would interfere with the string quotes!

But this PayPal button? Is it an image with an external link? If so, then just make a button or import the PayPal button image to Flash, convert it to a button by selecting it, pressing F8, choosing Button and pressing OK. Then, give this button an instance name of paypal_btn, and type this code on your frame:

paypal_btn.onPress = function(){
    getURL("http://www.paypal.com/some-url", "_blank"); // change _blank to _self if you want to open it in the same window
}
