How to generate VAST from DoubleClick for Publishers - double-click

I sign up for DoubleClick for Publishers and created account. My company is video content hosting, and we want to add VAST for the player. We had found examples of VAST/ VPID/ VMAP xml here: https://developers.google.com/interactive-media-ads/docs/sdks/flash/tags but I'm not sure how to generate those links form DoubleClick for Publishers interface. Can someone write just simple steps how to do that from there, and I will look into it.

Did you checked out this thread from Google Help Forum? Actually there are some pretty good advises and directions where to go. Also what you need is called invocation code. You will need to put it in your players's javascript section in HTML.

Don't know if it's still relevant (since +2.5 years passed since the question was asked), but as reference, VAST tags can be generated following the steps detailed in this DFP Help Center article.

Possible to embed Tumblr into other website?

I've been able to embed my latest 10 Tumblr posts into a website, but it doesn't include all of the functionality (comments, re-blogs, shares, etc.) of Tumblr. I'm really looking to do that, but I can't find an answer on this anywhere.
I know a lot of programming languages, so I'll take a solution in any language. The website IS a built-from-scratch website, so a Wordpress plugin won't help.
EDIT: Just to confirm (based on comments/questions below), we've followed the API documentation. We've got plenty of APIs working, but this one doesn't. We've tried gems, a Javascript version, the API with oauth and tokens, and more attempts than I can recall.
It's easy to do in Wordpress, and if we were doing it as a subdomain of a site, that would be possible. But the client (pro-bono) wants it embedded on a page that does lots of other things. Maybe there's a Javascript library we don't know about? Some other secret means of doing it? But the API (at least with available documentation) isn't working. Heck, even if you could direct us to a site where someone is using Tumblr embedded on a non-Wordpress/Tumblr website, that would be helpful. We could inspect the code.
We've got Twitter, Google Maps, and plenty of other APIs working. I swear we aren't idiots, and the answer to this isn't as easy as it appears.
THANKS!

What are dpuf (extension) files?

I have seen this extension in some urls and I would like to know what they are used for.
It seems odd, but I couldn't find any information about them. I think they are specific for some plug-in.
It seems to be connected to 'Share This'-buttons on the websites.
I found this page which gives a quite comprehensive explanation:
This tag is mainly developed for tracking the URL sharing on various Social Networks, so every time anyone copies your blog content there he gets the URL ending with #sthash and extension with .dpuf or .dpbs

How to interface Paypal with Flash for games

I have looked for something like this on Google and on this very site, but only found answers detailing procedures for sites. How is it possible to make so financial transactions can be carried over inside the game using Paypal, or maybe a different site? Is there any API/Library? If possible provide a solution in AS3...
Yes there is a PayPal API for this you would need to look through paypal documents to know to get further information, Apart from implementing this, a while back i had some scripts that would make a basic ECART for PayPal in actionScript, I would i have to check up my back up files to see if i still have them, i had found them through google..
Paypal has a couple short examples of integrating their new Digital Goods payment method into Flash, but it either involves embedding javascript in the html surrounding your swf and talking to it using ExternalInterface, or opening another page in a popup.

Anyone familiar with Vimeo? Trouble with js_onLoad, broken?

Hi all I was trying to get the vimeo "swfobject.html" example from git hub to work, but it simply doesn't work # github.com/vimeo/vimeo-api-examples/blob/master/moogaloop-api/javascript/swfobject.html
I debugged a bit, and realized it doesn't even enter the "js_onLoad" function. Does anyone know if this github code dated or is js_onLoad deprecated? I'm just trying to do a simple example of displaying the alert "hi" after the player is loaded, but I can't even get that far.
My very simple sample code is here: http://pastie.org/1110855. Does anyone see a problem?
Any fellow stackoverflowers versed in vimeo JS API? Cheers
I feel your pain. There's a bunch of inconsistent information about the vimeo API out there. But there are still parts that work. Check out the API Playground which works and demonstrates clearly how to do all sorts of useful things. The source code is on github. You can take apart the playground.html file and just leave in the parts that you need.
Important caveat about the playground.html file -- it doesn't work (for me) when running off a file:/// URL. It has to be coming off an http server to function at all. HTH.
I consider myself a bit of an expert on the Vimeo JS API. Their documentation and demo's are very poor, so I put together this little demo that I think it much easier to follow. It users jQuery and the iFrame embed method, but hopefully it helps:
http://labs.funkhausdesign.com/examples/vimeo/froogaloop2-api-basics.html
It shows how to listen for an event and fire a method.
After several experiments, it seems that events are only fired with the HTML5 version of the embed, not with the Flash version.
As the Universal Embed code (iframe) automatically selects the technology, I believe that the best way to go is to avoid using it and make your own embed.

What are some good widgets to add to a programming related blog (on blogger.com)?

I decided to start my blog recently. Anyway I put it on blogger.com and was looking at the widgets you can add. There are some 100k+ of them.
By the way, I tried to add the StackOverflow search widget and it complained it was broken.
Anyway, I'm after some suggestions on good programming related widgets worth adding.
Syntax Highlighter -- Support for pretty much every language you might wish to post snippets of.
A widget that allows access to documentation for countless APIs.
