Actually all you do is have a hidden from field named method that is the method
that you want to use. Also the method must have an access of "remote".
<form action="aCFC.cfc" ...>
...
<input type="hidden" name="method" value="formMethod">
</form>
Now, the caveat to this is that you are going to be setting on the cfc file
when this is all done. So you will likely be looking at a blank page in the
browser, with the url showing something like http://mysite/cfcs/aCFC.cfc.
What needs to happen is that the method called by the form needs to end in a
cflocation that redirects to whereever you want to be, when the form processing
is done.
An example from one of my projects
FORM TEMPLATE
<form action="CFC/ComplaintAction.cfc" method="post" name="ApprovalListForm"
class="complaintForm" id="ApprovalListForm">
....
<input name="method" type="submit" class="submit"
value="UpdateApprovalRequests">
</form>
COMPLAINTACTION.CFC
<cffunction access="remote" name="UpdateApprovalRequests" output="false">
.....
<cflocation addtoken="no" url="/ComplaintEdit.cfm">
</cffunction>

....Did you try this:
....
....<form action="/path/to/mycfc.cfc?method=myMethodName" action="post">
....
....That should do exactly what you want, if I understand you correctly.
....Just make sure your method has access="remote" so that it can be
....called remotely.
