Download the free fla file for Flash CS3 and CS4 www.developphp.com In this tutorial you can learn how to script or code PayPal Buy Now buttons in Flash ActionScript 3, or any paypal buttons you want using these fundamentals. There are key advantages to using Flash to build your PayPal checkout interface. You can code paypal donation buttons, subcription buttons, gift certificates, the works… I will quickly add what I have come to know throughout my Flash development experiments regarding PayPal. 1. SECURITY There are a number of methods that sneaky hackers and criminals use to hack a business owner’s PayPal store. The most widely known is to simply view the source code of the page containing the PayPal button. Then using the business’ paypal email address the hacker makes a copy of your store on their server and codes the button prices to be .00 each if they wish. And that is just one of the easier hacks. Thanks to Flash being new and cool it will take hackers more work to get at data contained within the flash source code. This in itself makes Flash paypal buttons a lot more secure. And reason enough for me to use them as much as possible in my programming. 2. BETTER LOOKS AND UNIQUE PROGRAMMING You have much more control programatically and graphically using Flash to add PayPal functionality to any of your pages. Video Rating: 3 / 5
