I have an html button that is not just a hyperlink, but contains other important html info. How do I include this button in the swf without losing this html code?

exactly what I mean. Here’s the code:

\<form action=“[https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr](https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr)” method=“post”\>  
\<input type=“hidden” name=“cmd” value="\_xclick"\>  
\<input type=“hidden” name=“business” [value="genghiskongo@mail.com](mailto:value=%22genghiskongo@mail.com)"\>  
\<input type=“hidden” name=“no\_note” value=“1”\>  
\<input type=“hidden” name=“currency\_code” value=“USD”\>  
\<input type=“hidden” name=“tax” value=“0”\>  
\<input type=“image” src=“[https://www.paypal.com/images/x-click-butcc-donate.gif](https://www.paypal.com/images/x-click-butcc-donate.gif)” border=“0” name=“submit” alt=“Make payments with PayPal - it’s fast, free and secure!”\>  
\</form\>

im not sure how u can do that through flash. But what u can do is have ur flash movie on a table and that button, in the other cell of the table…get me?

So u have a table with two cells, one contains ur flash and the other contains ur html button.

Thats all that i can think off sorry.

Ok u can do this.

On ur button in the flash movie place this script.

on (release) {  
getURL(“[https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr](https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr)”, “\_blank”);  
}

that should work =)

it doesn’t work. The code is specific to the paypal page. I can’t put the button in another cell because it’s contained within the design of my flash file.

</div>

Use the [font=courier new]LoadVars[/font] object:  
[AS]myButton.onRelease = function() {  
var my\_lv = new LoadVars();  
my\_lv.cmd = “\_xclick”;  
my\_lv.business = "genghiskongo@mail.com";  
my\_lv.no\_note = 1;  
my\_lv.currency\_code = “USD”;  
my\_lv.tax = 0;  
my\_lv.send(“[https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr](https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr)”, “\_self”, “POST”);  
};[/AS]  
I think there’s a thread about this in the Best of Kirupa… :sigh:
