I created a view cart button in PayPal and need to link it to a button in my fla. I know you can do this in AS but I haven't had any luck in my searches. I'm using CS3.[code]
View 2 RepliesI want to use my own .swf button for PayPal payments with a "hidden format", but when adding the generated PayPal Website code to my html page, only a red X and the alt PayPal text is showing where the button should be. I have changed all Active X controls to Enable.Every time I contact PayPal I get a different reply. The last one was that I have to add a "static" image, but I really want to use my own button.I would rather find a way to paste the PayPal code into my buttons action script and then I only have to paste the Flash button to the html, but don't know how to manipulate that because the only code generated by PayPal is a "form" in html format. I am also adding text fields and guess that's why I don't get an generated email code from PayPal which I get if I don't add text fields.
View 21 Replies...sorry for the duplicate post, thought this needs to be in a more up to date forum than 'Flash 8 and older'It looks like Paypal has just changed their buy now code so my sites using the old Paypal button code are no longer working...Have been using this code
Code:
on (release) {
//create the LoadVars that will hold our paypal information
[code].....
I have only two fields Name and Email in a Order form and a PayPal button for payment at PayPal ( into my account).I can do the mail portion but have no idea about PayPal code, however on search here I found one code and after pasting this one to the PayPal button it redirects to my PayPal account. But the question is anybody can post a message and leave the site without paying me. How can I do this thing so that the user will forced to pay before posting the mail form. No idea how to proceed?

View 2 RepliesI'm trying to put an "invisible" button under part of a large button, but if I put it under the larger button, the invisible button doesn't work. If I put it on top of part of the large button, the large button doesn't work... Is there some way to make it so that both the buttons work...?
View 8 RepliesI'm sure this is something easy that I'm missing, but I can't figure it out. How do I make a button invisible? I need it to be invisible through frame 43 of my movie. I have tried changing the alpha to 0, but it's not letting me change that, except in the edit button mode which changes it for the entire duration and not just through frame 43.
View 1 RepliesI have issues with the buttons working from the SWF file which is brought into the main flash site via UILoader.
[Code]...
I gathered that it is most probably due to the fact that I have constructed a button in the improper way.I tried to redo a button but it was the same result.I would like to try to access it through the main timeline. What would be the whole block of code to put a function on the button located inside an external SWF which is called in via a UILoader?
I am trying to close on as I am attempting to get this incorporated into my website. It came with the recommendation to try the CS5 today to see if this will meet the requirement at the moment.There is a desire to take custom SWF files (I think there is something called Swish files too?) from various sponsors for advertisement purposes and place them on my website.The implementation was straight-forward to make them work through the webserver.I tried a custom example of making a button that upon mouse click would open up a new webpage in CS5 which did work for me.My problem is since the SWF files are finalized, there is no way to put URL information into those files.After doing a lot of searching around today, it appears that the best way to redirect a user upon click of a video is to:
1) Open up a new Flash
2) Import the SWF video file into the project
3) Create a Invisible Button over top the SWF video so when the user clicks, they are redirected to a specific URL.
But for some reason, when I tried to overlay it with a sample SWF file I imported, there was all this flickering going on to where both were made transparent to one another on the screen not to mention the video wasn't even visible at all.My hope was that the SWF video could be seen clearly while the button remained invisbile to handle the click on the video.Is there someone on the forum that is able to guide me fairly quickly with a fast-path procedure so that I can try this?
I am a Flash novice who has worked through a couple of the standard introductory books on Flash in Actionscript 3 and some of the online tutorials. However I cannot work out how to do the following: A button A (I know how to design buttons including invisible ones) is on the stage. A user clicks on this button which then causes a text to appear at another location of the stage. This text includes an invisible button B. The text tells the user to click on it with the result that the text, including the invisible button B, disappears but if the user reclicks button A then the text with button B should appear again.
View 3 RepliesI am making a video player based on the Video Basics tutorials Lee put up a while back.
I am working on a custom controlBar with autohide. Basically, when i mouse over the video area I want them to pop up, and when I mouse out of the video area I want them to disappear. I have setup the controlBar movieclip itself with "show" and "hide" frame labels. Each one plays a fade in/out sequence a few frames long, no big deal. That is the easy part and works fine.
In order to detect the onRollOver and onRollOut events for the video area I made an invisible button on top of it called "butt". It works fine too.
Code: Select allbutt.onRollOut = function() {
trace("out of video");
controlBar.gotoAndPlay("hide");
};
[Code].....
Invisible button layer above controlBar layer: When i roll onto the video area the controlBar pops up, but I cannot access the buttons on it (play, rewind, etc) because they are now underneath the invisible button that monitors the rollOver and rollOut of the video area, which apparently wont let anything under it be clicked. How can I gain access to these buttons?
Controlbar layer above Invisible Button layer: When I roll onto the video area the controlBar pops up fine, but once I mouse over the control bar flash thinks I am leaving the bounds of the invisible button and tries to hide the controlBar right away, which causes me to "re-enter" the invisible button, so it just bounces back and forth between showing and hiding the controls.
How can I monitor the video area and still have access to the buttons on the controlBar once it pops up?
I have a paypal button it works fine. This is for selling one product. Now I want to add one Shipping charge ( $3.00 ) for each item. How can I do this? One more thing Is it possible to calculate the tax according to the country in the paypal site?
View 1 RepliesI know of a couple of methods of implementing an invisible button or "hotspot" or clickable area:
1) Draw a fill region on a Sprite with an alpha of 0.
2) Create a Button with only a hitArea
Which method would be less resource intensive? Since Adobe recommends against using too much alpaha, I image (2) is better. Are there other methods which could be even less resource intensive? In the movie I am doing, there will be many of these on the screen so optimziing for performance is important.
