I needed to add this as a button in my flash navigation, but I just can't seem to get it to work.

Please help.

<form target="paypal" action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">
<input type="image" src="https://www.paypal.com//en_US/i/btn/sc-but-03.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="Make payments with PayPal - it's fast, free and secure!">
<img alt="" border="0" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/scr/pixel.gif" width="1" height="1">
<input type="hidden" name="add" value="1">
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_cart">
<input type="hidden" name="business" value="tetraskin@aol.com">
<input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="Aloe Cucumber Astringent">
<input type="hidden" name="item_number" value="IO-1002806">
<input type="hidden" name="amount" value="23.99">
<input type="hidden" name="page_style" value="Primary">
<input type="hidden" name="no_shipping" value="2">
<input type="hidden" name="return" value=" http://tetraskin.com/Thankyou.html">
<input type="hidden" name="no_note" value="1">
<input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="USD">
<input type="hidden" name="lc" value="US">
<input type="hidden" name="bn" value="PP-ShopCartBF">
</form>

Thanks

this is how I send them out.

checkout.onPress=function(){
lv.send(" http://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cart/add=", "_blank", "post");}

Here's my code now:
var grand=_root.total

lv=new LoadVars();
lv.cmd="_cart";
choice=[lv.item_name_1,lv.item_name_2,lv.item_name_3,lv.item_name_4,lv.item_name_5,lv.item_name_6,lv.item_name_7,lv.item_name_8,lv.item_name_9,lv.item_name_10]
choicepay=[lv.amount_1,lv.amount_2,lv.amount_3,lv.amount_4,lv.amount_5,lv.amount_6,lv.amount_7,lv.amount_8,lv.amount_9,lv.amount_10]
//choicenum=[lv.quantity_1,lv.quantity_2,lv.quantity_3,lv.quantity_4,lv.quantity_5,lv.quantity_6,lv.quantity_7,lv.quantity_8,lv.quantity_9,lv.quantity_10]

lv.business="molly@dogz.com"
lv.ship="$4.50"
lv.currency_code="USD"
lv.amount=grand;

for(i=0;i<_root.paypal.length;i++){
choice = _root.paypal;
choicepay =_root.payprice;
choicenum =i+1//(i+1).toString();

} Before I got into the big arrays it was working, but it put a complicated order as just one item- it's a bunch of beads on a chain, that are personalized, and people tend to order more than one.

I'm using the Paypal sandbox, which is cool. The flash variables trace out correctly.

what variable/values do you need to send to paypal? if you're in a similar situation to the op, you need to send a variable named "add" with a value of 1. if that's true, your code won't and shouldn't work.

forgot to add this:
checkout.onPress=function(){
lv.sendAndLoad("https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr",lv,"_POST");

I'm trying to get something like this working too, for someone else's site, but am testing it on my own. I've used loadVars in other situations. Couldn't find info on Paypal or by phone to Paypal. The site involves customized items, and all that info is in the variable ordero, and the value of various items is in variable grand. So if I put:
lv=new LoadVars();
lv.cmd="_cart";
lv.business="mytesting address@earthlink.net"
lv.item_name=ordero
lv.currency_code="USD"
lv.amount=grand;

Shouldn't that work? It hangs at paypal and goes no farther.

If I wanted to put a paypal shopping cart button in my flash navigation menu, how would I go about doing it?

The html code is :

<form target="paypal" action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_cart">
<input type="hidden" name="business" value="tetraskin@aol.com">
<input type="image" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/view_cart_02.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="Make payments with PayPal - it's fast, free and secure!">
<input type="hidden" name="display" value="1">
<input type="hidden" name="page_style" value="Primary">
</form>

at the moment the button I created has this actionscript on it

on (rollOver) {
gotoAndPlay("over");
}
on (releaseOutside, rollOut) {
gotoAndPlay("out");
}
on (release) {
getURL("index-3.html");
}

How do I change it so that when the button is pressed it shows the shopping cart?

I'm new to actionscript and I wondered if you could recommend a book or a site that I could use to learn a bit more?

Thanks again.

that's in the code in my above message. but instead of attaching the yourSubmitBtn.onPress code to a frame, you wanted to attach it to a true (non-movieclip) button and you wanted to use an on(release) handler, you would use:

Thank you so much, it worked.

I also have the shopping cart which I created a view cart button for.

Is there a place where I can look this up. I would like to understand the concept also.

<form target="paypal" action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_cart">
<input type="hidden" name="business" value="tetraskin@aol.com">
<input type="image" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/view_cart_02.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="Make payments with PayPal - it's fast, free and secure!">
<input type="hidden" name="display" value="1">
<input type="hidden" name="page_style" value="Primary">
</form>
