It depends on what you mean by "process," I think. ;) HTML pages don't
process their own forms, the server does, usually via ASP, PHP, Perl, what
have you. Of course, JavaScript can parse the data before sending it to be
processed by the server. In like fashion, Flash variables can be sent to
the server using GET or POST, just like in HTML, and ActionScript can parse
that data in much the same way JavaScript does.

If you're generating an email or using a database, then yes ... ASP,
PHP, etc. is what you'll need. (Unless you use mailto: with getURL(), but
that requires that the user has a default email client installed and is no
more [or less] dependable than doing the same in HTML.) The nice part is,
once you figure out how to use those scripts with HTML, it's easy as pie to
use them with Flash. The getURL() function, MovieClip.loadVariables()
method, or LoadVars class each offer mechanisms for sending the data.

It is very simple. Search the help for LoadVars(). That is about the
easiest. Create a loadVars instance, set the variable that the server
script is looking for, then call sendAndLoad()
