You could pass the name of the file to Flash as a variable like this:


<OBJECT ...>

        <PARAM NAME="movie" VALUE="yourmovie.swf?caller=file1.html">

        <EMBED SRC="yourmovie.swf?caller=file1.html"

               ...>

        </EMBED>

</OBJECT>


and change the value of caller to reflect the html file name.  There is

also a _url property you can reference in Flash, but that returns the

swf name, not the html in which it is embedded.
