Passing parameters into url in flash???

I have an online dating website that is created entirely in asp.net with the exception of the home page, which is flash (http://www.mobilesweethearts.com/main1.swf).

This flash page is for the most part informational, however in the bottom corner, you'll notice there are a few drop down boxes (still working on them. not yet completed).

Ultimately, this portion will be identical to something like the home page of www.match.com. That is, I'll ask the users gender, the gender they're looking for, 2 dropdows for the age range they're looking for, a text box for the zip code, and a 2nd text box for the number of miles they wish to search within that zip code. (as I said, identical to match.com).
Finally, it will have a "submit" button that directs the user to the page "search/seachDetails.aspx".

So my question is, how would I successfully pass along the data the user enters from this flash page to an asp.net page? The only solution I could come up with was to find a way to pass along the values within the URL. Can this be done or is there a better solution?

The location of my .fla file is "http://www.mobilesweethearts.com/main1.fla".

Thanks in advance.

Ok, I've added the rest of the buttons but I'm still unable to get this to work.
I located some code on another site that said to use:
loadVariablesNum("searchDetails.aspx", 0);

And then on my asp.net page to use something like "Request("variableName")", however it still doesn't work. I tried placing this into the actionscript portion of a pushbutton component but that didn't work so I then tried placing it into the "Click Handler" spot but had no luck there either.

Any ideas?

I need to have this feature implemented by Thursday for a presentation. Please help.

Thanks again.
