If you just need to go to a web site and submit a form, the best thing 
to do is submit the POST yourself :
http://flex.apache.org/asdoc/mx/rpc/http/HTTPService.html

But it all depends what else you need to send (such as cookie) and if 
there really are not other steps to take once the form is submitted.
