I would try using the send function. you will first need to create a loadVars Object and assign your vars to it

copied from manual

LoadVars.send()
Availability
Flash Player 6.

Usage
my_lv.send(url:String,target:String [, method:String]) : Boolean

Parameters
url A string; the URL to which to upload variables.

target A string; the browser window or frame in which any response will
appear. You can enter the name of a specific window or select from the
following reserved target names:

"_self" specifies the current frame in the current window.
"_blank" specifies a new window.
"_parent" specifies the parent of the current frame.
"_top" specifies the top-level frame in the current window.
method A string; the GET or POST method of the HTTP protocol.

Returns
A Boolean value; false if no parameters are specified, true otherwise.

Description
Method; sends the variables in the my_lv object to the specified URL. All
enumerable variables in my_lv are concatenated into a string in the
application/x-www-form-urlencoded format by default, and the string is posted
to the URL using the HTTP POST method. This is the same format used by
loadVariables(). The MIME content type sent in the HTTP request headers is the
value of my_lv.contentType or the default application/x-www-form-urlencoded.
The POST method is used unless GET is specified.

You must specify the target parameter to ensure that the script or application
at the specified URL will be executed. If you omit the target parameter, the
function will return true, but the script or application will not be executed.

The send() method is useful if you want the server response to:

replace the SWF content (use "_self" as the target parameter);
appear in a new window (use "_blank" as the target parameter);
appear in the parent or top-level frame (use "_parent" or "_top" as the target
parameter);
appear in a named frame (use the frame?s name as a string for the target
parameter).
A successful send() method call will always open a new browser window or
replace content in an existing window or frame. If you would rather send
information to a server and continue playing your SWF file without opening a
new window or replacing content in a window or frame, then you should use
LoadVars.sendAndLoad().

This method is similar to XML.send().

Example
The following example copies two values from text fields and sends the data to
a CFM script, which is used to handle the information. For example, the script
might check if the user got a high score and then insert that data into a
database table.

var my_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
my_lv.playerName = playerName_txt.text;
my_lv.playerScore = playerScore_txt.text;
my_lv.send("setscore.cfm", "_blank", "POST");

just assign the textfields to a varable in property inspector (instance name
is useless in this case)
