Okay I know that I can pass variables to Flash via the embed tag like this:

<param name="flashvars" value="modName=someModName&companyName=someCompany Name&" />

<embed src="preLoader.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#ffffff" width="640" height="480" swLiveConnect=true id="preLoader" name="preLoader" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"flashvars="modName=someModName&comp anyName=someCompanyName" />

But is there anyway to pass the varibales to Flash from the url?

Like:

<a href = "someHTMLPage.html?modName=someModName&companyName =someCompanyName>Some Page</a>

How could I get these variables into the Flash movie?

Thanks.
