How to interface Paypal with Flash for games - actionscript-3

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.

Is there a way to make a sharable link to a video uploaded locally in HTML?

I'm learning how to write more in-depth code, and decided to start a project that I'm interested in to entice myself to pay more attention. I want to make my own website where I upload clips I made of my friends and I playing games. I understand how to put a local video into HTML code, but is there a way to make separate sharable links for each one? This way instead of sending a link to just the site, I can link the specific video that I want to share. Thanks!
I would put videos on separate pages like:
testdomain.com/video1.html
testdomain.com/video2.html
...
This would be the most simplest and straight way to do so at the beginning, but also the least recommendable.
I suggest you to learn about back-end programming (since you already had begun with the front-end side), and databases. And then how these are related with the MVC model, to get a full website and achieve your goal in the best way possible.

Is there a simple way to allow a thrid party to add content to my website?

I am currently creating a basic website for a small sports-association. It is simply used to display some basic information about training times, becoming a member, locations, history, etc...
However, we would also like the option to add news and upcoming special events. I am making the website in HTML, but this is much too complex for the other volunteers. I was wondering if I could embed some service into the website where they can easily add some small news articles without diving into html.
I myself was first thinking of using some simple blog-service (like notion.so, blogger.com) and embedding this using an IFrame. However, most websites have a protection against being used as a frame.
I would like at some point that they do not rely on me for basic updates. Is there a way to implement this option? Or should we fall back on something like google sites?
It really depends on the company. I suggest asking them if they would like to add content first, and if they say no, I think thats copyright.
I suggest not using google sites because the viewers of the website can always scroll dow and find out this is through Google Sites. In my opinion that doesn't seem as professional.
My answer is to teach them the basics. It isn't that hard to teach them that the text goes inside and a header is through
I now found out it is possible to embed a blogger.com page in an iFrame, so this is a solution for now.

How to generate VAST from DoubleClick for Publishers

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!
If you want a clear example on how to use the JSON, check this link, it helped me tons:

Struggling to create clientless IM with Lync

I need to make a clientless IM system with Lync and am struggling to find any existing information on this to help me.
Is this possible? and could anyone help/point me in the right direction?
Thanks!
You've included HTML5 as a tag, so I'm going to assume you want to create an web-page that has IM functionality built in.
UCWA is exactly what you need in this instance. UCWA is a rest-like API for accessing Lync for IM and Presence. You can use UCWA with anything that does HTTP request/response, but all the examples are using Javascript. Have a look at UCWA.Lync.com - where you will find online examples and code samples.
Also, if you're developing a project on this, depending on your timeline, you should also be aware of a new technology recently announced at the Lync Conference 2014. Its code name is JLync, and it will bring "browser extensibility with voice, video & content."
