FLASH: accessing variables sent via "get" http request

[Leggett, Marshall]

Hello,


I'm using an application server, that is sending a variable via a "get" http

request.  The server simply passes the variable as an appendation to the url

of an html file.  In this file, I have an <embed> calling a flash 4 swf.  Is

there a way that I can access the variable from the swf file?  


In other words, the user requests a file.  This file contains syntax that

prompts my application server to send a variable via url appendation to the

requested html file (on which is my swf).  Can the swf use that variable?


Thanks!
