Hey guys,

this.\_parent[“list[2]”] = “list[2]”;  
email = yemail.text;  
emailconfirm = yemail.text;  
attribute7 = sendFname;  
attribute2 = sendLname;  
attribute25 = 1;  
getURL(“[http://www.mydomain.com/mailinglists/?p=subscribe&id=1](http://www.mydomain.com/mailinglists/?p=subscribe&id=1)”, receive\_lv, “POST”);  
gotoAndPlay(“thanks”);  
 /[/COLOR]  
[COLOR=#808080]//this dont ☹_[/COLOR]  
[COLOR=#000000] **var** [/COLOR] send\_lv:[COLOR=#0000ff]LoadVars[/COLOR] = [COLOR=#000000] **new** [/COLOR] [COLOR=#0000ff]LoadVars[/COLOR]COLOR=#000000[/COLOR];

SO basically, Im trying to submit to a phplist using the code above.

The top method (commented out), work, but obviously opens a browser window which I dont want.

The second method doesnt, and the only difference I can see in the way that the data is being sent is the send\_lv[“list[2]”] = “signup”, or at least th evariable named “list[2]”.

I cannot change this variable name PHP side so I have to find a solution using AS ☹

Ive tried using:  
this.send\_lv[“list[2]”] = “signup”;  
\_parent.send\_lv[“list[2]”] = “signup”;  
this.\_parent.send\_lv[“list[2]”] = “signup”;

To no avail, if its of any iterest, when I trace out send\_lv everything comes out fine except that the square brakcets from [“list[2]”] are URL encoded …could this be stopping the PHP from seeing the variable correctly?

Thanks to anyone that can help…this is seriously frustrating!
