Example Code for my 360Flex Session – Accessing Secure APIs within Flex

Example Code for my 360Flex Session – Accessing Secure APIs within Flex

For those who weren't at my session, I'm providing a link to an example application for integrating the PayPal API into Flex. This includes Express Checkout and Direct Payment.

Download the Example Application

The majority of my presentation was me talking, but since no video is available I'm hoping the provided code is self-explanatory. I am also providing a link to my slides.

View/Download the Slides

Basically, the provided code contains a Flex application and PHP code to proxy PayPal API requests/responses. I tried to keep the amount of code to a minimum so that it's easier to read and understand how it all works.

I ment to get this up sooner but a cold has kept me away from the computer. Enjoy
