yes, you can use the as3 urlLoader() class to post variables/values to server-side script (like php) which then adds the data to your db.

don't use navigateToURL(), use urlLoader(). it won't open another browser window.

you can use the javascript onunload method to detect when users close that window and you can use the actionscript externalinterface class to communicate between javascript and actionscript.

call a different javascript function that uses the callback method of the externalinterface class. the help files have sample code.

note: use the embedding html shown (or swfobject) to embed your swf.
