How to Use PayPal amp; Flash

1. Set up a free PayPal account. This requires that you give either your Social Security number or business tax ID number. The money that comes into your PayPal account is taxable income. There are no tax deductions by PayPal, but they will send you a 1099 form each January and a duplicate to the IRS.
2. Look under the 'Merchant Services' tab on your PayPal account to find a button image to install on your website, for example, 'Pay Now' or 'Pay by Credit Card.' Select the one you want, and save it on your computer with the 'Save As' option. Name the saved image anything you want, but keep the file extension. While you are still in the 'Merchant Services' tab, look for something called the 'PayPal Payment Gateway' URL. Write it down or copy it to a clipboard because you will need it later.
3. Log on to your Flash account, and go to where you want to install the button that links to PayPal. Upload the button image by going to the Flash file directory and selecting the 'Upload' option. Choose the 'Browse' option, and choose the name of the file on your computer where you stored the button image.
4. Click on the installed image of the button inside your Flash editor. Select the 'Action Script' option. You are now going to link your button to PayPal. In the Action Script window, type the following:on (press) {getURL ('PayPal Payment Gateway');}Replace PayPal Payment Gateway with the URL you saved (it starts with http://).
5. Save your work, close your files and test your new button by buying something.
