FURTHER DIFFICULTIES

ok...i must confess...this is all to create a PAYPAL button....i need to add an item to a shopping cart on PAYPAL.com. another problem has cropped up.

ADD is a reserved word in actionscript, so i can't properly ADD an item to my paypal shopping cart because code like this causes an error:

mySubmit = new LoadVars();
mySubmit.add = 1; //<----this line causes the problem

WHAT CAN I DO?? i will keep trying other methods, but things are looking pretty bleak.

after much trial and error, i think i got it down :)
you can use 'array-style' referencing to create the lvars object. even though 'add' is a reserved word in ACTIONSCRIPT, you can still do this:

lvMySubmit["add]"=1;

this works...

// create variables to contain item data.
lvMySubmit = new LoadVars();
lvMySubmit.cmd = "_cart";
lvMySubmit.business = "foo@foo.net";
lvMySubmit.item_name = "1 Dozen Mens Left Handed Sport Gloves";
lvMySubmit.amount = "60.00";
lvMySubmit.no_note = "1";
lvMySubmit.cs = "1";
lvMySubmit.currency_code = "USD";
lvMySubmit.on0 = "Glove Size";
lvMySubmit.os0 = "Small";
lvMySubmit["add"]=1;
lvMySubmit.submit=1;
lvMySubmit.display=1;


lvMySubmit.send("https://www.paypal.com", "_self", "POST");
