ok heres the code i’ve been using for my paypal buttons on my flash sites.  
not the only thing is i put my item Name in the “item\_number=” and for some reason i need to put underscores or someting, it wont work it i put spaces in between the words of the item name, and it i put the code in for a non-breaking space it makes the word before that code the only word you see in the paypal cart page in the desciption.  
So ive been doing this This\_New\_DVD (thats what the item name looks like in the paypal cart description section.
