You create the button in FLASH, not DW. I don't trust ANY of the DW/Flash connections -- I've heard too many people who have all kinds of problems with it.
And what are you doing that requires Flash? If it's just a graphic or a mouseover effect, there's absolutely no reason for Flash and I doubt the client would even know the difference.
If you ARE using something that requires Flash (and again, I really doubt that if it's a button), that's different.
What you do in DW is go to INSERT - Interactive Images - Flash Button
Create the button but do not add any references in it so that it does not do anything and is just a mouse over button with your Submit text on it, then when you place it in your form add the onClick javascript action to submit form.....
Have not tried this but only way of forcing button in where an image rollover would work or get a swf ripper and double check that there is not actionscript

You do it in FLASH, not DW. And IMHO Flash buttons are a really, really BAD idea. Anybody without the Flash plugin (or who doesn't allow activex/plugins) will NOT be able to submit your form. Not only that, if you need to change the page you'll need to have the original FLA file and change THAT, and you'll need a different Flash file for every place you want to use the button.
You do NOT need to use a Flash button. Use a regular graphic.
