No problem Paul, As a rough guide, I'm suggesting that the form data submission is handled by a javascript function in your containing HTML page.
Your SWF would then use the ExternalInterface class to call that function directly (and pass arguments if you need to), rather than the SWF sending the form data itself. That way the SWF never needs to look outside its domain, and the data can still be sent.
