Allo, I was wondering if anyone could help me out with this little problem I’m having. I’m fairly new to flash so please bear with me. I’ve created a simple flash form to send to a mailer CGI script and it seems to be working fine, except for two little things. First, the variable names i give the text fields are being entered into the text boxes when i run the movie (like this \_level0.Name, etc.).I would like them to be empty in there initial state. Second, and I’m not sure if this can be helped, but when i recieve the info from the CGI script it list entries for these two fields: \_childCounter & focus\_mc. I do not have access to the actual CGI script to adjust so I was wondering if there would be a way restrict these two from being sent to the script from within flash. I’m using this as my post method if it helps

```auto
loadVariablesNum("xxxxxxxxxxxxx", 0, "POST");

```

. Thanks Alot in advance for any assistance i may recieve:hugegrin:
