    resolved [RESOLVED] [F8] send form through a 3rd party mail service

    Good afternoon all. I am trying to send the contents of a Flash form to iContact, which is a 3rd party email management service. My form works fine when I write my own PHP script, but I can't get it to show up in iContact. There are fixed variables that I have to send onSubmit that tell iContact where to post, but one variable caught my eye. It is:

    specialid:26395 = "ACQQ";

    Because of the colon after "specialid", I can't send this as a variable in Flash. Has anyone tried to send a Flash form through a 3rd party service and have any insight? Or does anyone know how to get that variable with the colon to post onSubmit?

    I was thinking worst case scenario I could pass everything into my own php script, then pass it into iContact from there, since it works in html. But I have never written a pass through script.

    Any ideas would be helpful. My onSubmit code is below. Maybe I am missing something? Thanks in advance for your help.

    Code:
    on (release) {
       if (!email.length || email.indexOf("@") == undefined || email.indexOf(".") == -1) {
          EmailStatus = "Please enter a valid E-mail address";
     }
       else {
            //copying the entered variables into the variable names required by iContact
    	fields_name = name; 
    	fields_country = country;
    	fields_postcode = postcode;
    	fields_email = email;
    	fields_emailformat = emailformat;
    	listid = 26390;     // below are the fixed variables required by iContact to recognize the account
            specialid:26390 = "ACQQ"; //Flash won't let me pass this one
    	clientid = 202700;
    	formid = 2300;
    	reallistid = 1;
    	doubleopt = 1;
    	sc_project=3838100; 
    	loadVariables ("http://app.icontact.com/icp/signup.php", this, "POST");
    	EmailStatus = "Sending... Please wait";
     }
    }
