I can't figure out how to put a login form on my site

Question

Hello, I have a site that I created in flash and I need to add a login to a site caleld sharefile.  This form works correctly in html but I can't get it to work in my flash file.  Can anyone please help me out with transferrign this simple html form into flash.  Here is the code snippet:
<form method="post" action="https://fmc-service.sharefile.com">
  <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0">
    <tr><td>Email:</td></tr>
    <tr><td><input type="text" name="username" /></td></tr>
    <tr><td height="5"></td></tr>
    <tr><td>Password:</td></tr>
    <tr><td><input type="password" name="password" /></td></tr>
    <tr><td height="10"></td></tr>
    <tr><td><input type="submit" value="Log In" /></td></tr>
    <tr><td height="10"></td></tr>
  </table>
</form>
I have the input text ready with one input box labeled username and the other labeled password in flash and on the submit button I have the script:
on (release) {
    getURL("https://fmc-service.sharefile.com", "", "POST");
When I publish the file it takes me to the right website but it does not log me in.  It just acts as if I just put a regular link to the sharefile login page.  I figured this was too simple.  Any help would greatly be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jason

if you're testing locally, you probably have a security sandbox issue.  fix it here:

otherwise, you don't have username and password defined on the timeline that contains your button and/or your button is a movieclip button
