I'm trying to add the HTML code for a PayPal button to my website, but for the
life of me, I can't seem to figure out how. Is there a way to add HTML to a
Flash file, or even to a Flash generated button? Am I even making sense? I'm
a complete programming newb, this website is my first project. Any help anyone
can offer is greatly appreciated.:confused;

Usually, PayPal buttons will deliver the user to the paypal site,
where they can process their payment. You may consider having a button
within your SWF that delivers your visitor to an html page on your
server that holds some payment information and also the payment link
(since they will be redirected out of your Flash website anyhow).

You can set dynamic text fields to render HTML (though only a small subset of
HTML tags are supported). You could also import the button graphics and make te
button itself in Flash using a getURL() function to call the appropriate page
when clicked.

Hope that helps!
