Hello all,  
I’m trying to create an input form which will take a user’s email address, name, and last name and submit this info into a third-party email application. The problem is that the application requires a variable be sent which includes brackets [] and flash gives me errors as soon as I add them.

Here is an actual working html form. Notice the hidden value FormValue\_MailListIDs[]. How can I convert this to a flash form? Thank you 🙂

```auto
<form action="subscribe.php" method="post" name="SubscriptionForm" id="SubscriptionForm">
     <input type="hidden" name="FormValue_MailListIDs[]" value="75">
     <br>
  Email address<br>
<input type="text" name="FormValue_Email" value=""><br>
first<br>
<input type="text" name="FormValue_CustomField150" value=""><br>
last<br>
<input type="text" name="FormValue_CustomField151" value=""><br>
<input type="submit" name="Subscribe" value="Submit">
</form>

```
