.JSR LOGIN FORM IMPLEMENTED IN FLASH

I'M A BEGINNER AT ACTIONSCRIPT AND NOVICE AT OTHER PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES.

(sorry for CAPS)

I have a form:
<form action = " http://paradigm.mercurygate.net/MercuryGate/login/mgLogin.jsp" target = "_self" onSubmit = "window.current('','paradigm','width=1028,height=768,resizable=yes,toolbar=yes,menubar=yes,location=no');">

passing three inputs for a login both type text/password and a hidden one with a url value as in:

<input type="hidden" name="failedurl" value=" http://www.bci-group.com/sites/PDG/password.asp">
<input tabindex="text" name="UserId">
<br>
<input type="password" name="password">
<br><br>
<input type="submit" value="Login">
</form>

works fantastic in an HTML/ASP page. how in the world can i incorporate this into a flash with a the same components.

have tried this:
on(release){
getURL(" http://paradigm.mercurygate.net/MercuryGate/login/mgLogin.jsp", "paradigm", "POST");
}

it just goes to that URL. and asks for the user_id and password again. (doesn't work for me)

i have no idea how to begin, give me something to start with....


thanks in advance,
