Flash to DB using ASP and vise versa

http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/forms_database.htm

based on the following tutorial I would like to comment that what is I wish to use a dropdown component?
problem arises that dropdown component for selecting a value to be stored does not have a VAR paramaneter.
could someone help (after reading the kirupa’s tutorial) and let me know how to implement dropdowns and checkmarks and circular selections into database please.

one hint there is that kirupa’s turorial is working when we use an input text and name variables…
