submitting a Flash Form to email address

I've created a lovely Flash Form that looks beautiful but I need to be able to send the values of the fields or a copy of the completed form to an email address when the user clicks the submit button. Can anyone point me to a tutorial or provide assistance. I've been looking for hours.
This is my form tag....
<cfform method="post" action="mailto:name@company.com" name="contactTJG" preservedata="yes" preloader="true" format="flash" height="400" width="500" skin="halosilver" timeout="10">
This is my submit button tag....
<cfinput type="submit" name="BtnSubmit" value="Submit">
I feel like I'm missing a piece which will collect the fields and then a function to make the button work but I have no idea how to go about doing it.
Thanks,

    Thank you. It works.

    Of course now they have decided to store the responses in a database. LOL.

    You can do this in 3 ways

    1. Create an actionscript function that calls a cfc through flash remoting. The cfc would then send the email

    2. Create an action page the form is submitted to. The action page would then send the email.

    3. Use actionscript getURL("mailto:you@somedomain.com");
