FLASH: Getting Variables from a URL?

[Dino Giacomazzi]

Hey All,


Is is possible to read a variable from the URL of the document containing

the flash movie?


Here is what I mean....


I have an html document with a session_ID in the URL.  That page refreshes

to a new HTML Document containing a Flash Movie.  If I pass the Session_ID

to the new HTML document, how can I extract that Session_ID information and

use it in the flash Movie?


Am I making any sense?


Any help would be greatly appreciated


Dino
