Hi, I was looking at how to integrate paypal with flash, and came across this topic: [http://www.kirupaforum.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=29681&highlight=paypal](http://www.kirupaforum.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=29681&highlight=paypal) . However, the input names for paypal appear to have changed. This leaves me with a problem when I used the same technique to add these new values:

\<input type=“hidden” name=“add” value=“1”\>

of course, this gives an error when used:

my\_lv.add = “1”;

since flash wont allow ‘add’ to be used in this way. How can I get around this problem? I noticed in another thread someone used [“add”] but that didnt seem to work. Any solutions would really help as this has irritated me for a while now.
