The easiest way in the world to pass information INTO a Flash
Author: Tiran Dagan | Website: http://www.TiranDagan.com |

The Answer

All we need is to copy the parameters passed to the containing html page (the page on which the SWF is “sitting”). What we do is alter the name of the source SWF file to contain the parameters. Here is an example:

<PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="URL.swf[parameters]">
<PARAM NAME=quality VALUE=high>
<PARAM NAME=bgcolor VALUE=#FFFFFF>
<EMBED 	src="URL.swf"
 quality=high
 bgcolor=#FFFFFF
 WIDTH=550
 HEIGHT=400
 TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash"
 PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash">
</EMBED>
</OBJECT>
