Most browsers will let scripts address objects:


"Using JavaScript with Macromedia Flash Player"  (intro)

http://www.macromedia.com/go/4160


"Scripting Methods Supported in Flash 4 Players"

http://www.macromedia.com/go/13945

"Different approaches to setting variables in the Macromedia Flash Player"
