Flash MX, ScrollPane, Sending variable out

I have a scrollpane with a form inside it.  I want to send out the form elements to a .cfm file, then trigger either a "Thank you" or "Server down" message back to the user in the same flash movie (but not inside the scrollpane, but still in the flash movie).  I haven't found any material on that on the NET and the help menu doesn't "help" either.

Thanks.
