HELP please - send a registration with hidden values

Hi, this is my first post here and I’m new to actionscript. I have a simple (very simple!) and functional HTML form that registers an email to a newsletter solution on the web. I just need to create a Flash version of this form but it doesn’t want to work…

The hidden field never seem to follow… what am i doing wrong!!?

HTML FORM-----
<form action=“http://thiswebsite” method=“post”>
<input type=hidden name=“slid” value=“a number value”>
<input type=hidden name=“cmd” value=“subscribe”>
<input type=hidden name=“goto” value=“http://”>
<table border=0>
<tr><td>E-Mail:</td>
<td><input type=text name=email size=25></td></tr>
<tr><td colspan=2><input type=hidden name=“format” value=“html”></td></tr>
<tr><td colspan=2 align=right><input type=submit value=“Subscribe”></td></tr></table></form>

MY AS 2.0 CODE-----
function sendForm () {
my_lv = new LoadVars ();
my_lv.email = _parent.email.text;
my_lv.slid = " a number value ";
my_lv.cmd = “subscribe”;
my_lv.goto = “http://”;
my_lv.send (“http://thiswebsite”, “POST”);
nextFrame ();
}
send_btn.onRelease = function () {
if (email == “”) {
status_txt.text = “Please enter email …”;
} else {
status_txt.text = “”;
sendForm ();
}
};

If anyone can help…
