I agree with Nate and Tracy, that doesn't sound like a good use for modules. Everything you mention can be done very easily in 1 swf.
Consider your 'pages' as 'views' instead, I know this sounds nitpicky but the sooner I got away from the 'page refresh' mentality the sooner the rest made sense. use a viewstack to hold the different forms (or states to hide/show them). Unless you have many very large forms to fill out I'd stay away from modules. Another thing that helped me learn is the docs http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/ read the first couple chapters, and you'll know how to handle this. D.
