paypal

hi,
Does anyone know how, in as3, i can allow a client to press a button to pay for a file with paypal and when they've finished redirect them the the download page (a url).
I know i could do it from a html site but i want the buy now button to be in my flash site.
can anyone help??
thanx in advance!
MrSmither

thanx alot!
I can't find the url that the client is redirected to affter payment...
Can you help?

<input type="hidden" name="notify_url" value="http://www.example.com/thankyou.html" />

Hi all,

slight hijack...

My paypal button has worked for a year but suddenly gives an error on the paypal site like this:
"You have requested an outdated version of PayPal. This error often results from the use of bookmarks."
Same problem for this guy (click the button his selling for exactly the same error message):
http://activeden.net/item/flash-paypal-button/33157

So my button code looks like this: (anyone know where the problem lies) ?

Actionscript Code:

on (release) {
    var paypal = new LoadVars();
    paypal.cmd = '_xclick';
    paypal.upload = '1';
    paypal.business = '[email protected]';
    paypal.currency_code = 'GBP';
    paypal.amount = price;
    paypal.no_shipping = '1';
    paypal.shipping = '0';
    paypal.tax = '0';
    paypal.lc = 'GB';
    paypal.item_name = [style+", "+type];
    paypal.send('https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr', 'POST');
}

Best wishes
Monty
