Multiple Forms in a Flash Document and Posting Using ASP

Question

Hello everyone!
I have some what of a dilemma on my hands. I am creating
multiple forms in one document using Flash and need them to post
using ASP script. I have been researching this for the last six
days, and I have had NO luck. I have noticed that all the
information that I have found is for one form, not more than one.
What I have so far is the Flash document, with 4 forms. The
basic idea is that a user chooses from a drop down menu (the
combobox) a location, and depending on the location chosen, it
takes the user to another frame in the flash document. The forms
(all their own movie clip) contains a name field, a department
field, and either a manager name a userID field or an employee
number as well as the basic buttons for submitting the form or
resetting the form.
So far what I have working is the drop down menu (combobox)
taking me to the proper frame and it shows the appropriate form.
The reset button clearing the form (deleting any information that I
have imputed into the input fields), but I have absolutely NO idea
how to get the submit button to work (I did manage to get it to
send me a message if there was nothing in one of the input fields),
and NO idea how to get the information to the ASP file.
Where there are 4 forms do each of them have to have their
own ASP file attached to them, or can I use one?
If anyone knows a site that deals with multiple forms in one
SWF and posts using ASP that would be greatly appreciated, or if
you know some actionscript that could be helpful.
Thank you all in advance.

That would be part of my problem, I really don't know ASP,
and I am flying by the seat of my pants.
The current script I have for the ASP file is:
<% @Language = "VBScript" %>
<%
Option explicit
Dim strfullName
Dim strdeptName
Dim strmanagerName
Dim strobjeemail
Dim strlocation
strfullName.Request.Form("fullName_txt")
strdeptName.Request.Form("deptName_txt")
strmanagerName.Request.Form("managerName_txt")
strlocation.Request.Form("locationName")
Set strobjemail = CreateObject("CDO.Message")
strobjemail.From = "[email protected]"
strobjemail.To = "[email protected]"
strobjemail.Subject = "Program from " + strlocation
strobjemail.Body = "This user has completed this progrmam
from " + strlocation & Chr(13) & Chr(10) & "Name: " +
strfullName & Chr(13) & Chr(10) & "Department: " +
strdeptName & Chr(13) & Chr(10) & + "Manager: " +
strmanagerName
strobjemail.Send
Set strobjemail=nothing
%>
The AS code that I have so far is:
function formValidationChecks(){
if (fullName_txt.length==0){
status_txt.text = "Please enter your Name";
else if (deptName_txt.length==0){
status_txt.text = "Please enter your Department";
else if (managerName_txt.length==0){
status_txt.text = "Please enter your Manager";
else {
status_txt.text = "Thank You!";
variables.fullName_txt = fullName_txt.text;
variables.deptName_txt = deptName_txt.text;
variables.managerName_txt = managerName_txt.text;
varLoader.load(varSend);
trace("-----");
trace("Name: "+fullName_txt.text);
trace("Department: "+deptName_txt.text);
trace("Manager: "+managerName_txt.text);
trace("Form validated");
submit_btn.onRelease = function(){
status_txt.text = "";
if(formValidationChecks()){
var lv = new LoadVars();
lv.fullName_txt = form.fullName_txt.text;
lv.deptName_txt = form.deptName_txt.text;
lv.managerName_txt = form.managerName_txt.text;
lv.sendAndLoad("mail.asp", lv, "POST");
reset_btn.onRelease = function()
fullName_txt.text = "";
deptName_txt.text = "";
managerName_txt.text = "";
So far my reset button clears everything, and the submit
button is tracing the content in the form fields, but it's not even
grabbing the asp page.
Any suggestions? Even pages that have tutorials that are in
the form of a video.
Thanks
