http://www.mydomain.com/index.html?passedPage=180 This won't pass into flash as a flashvar. You have a few options though.
- Use Javascript to grab the query string and then write it in as a flashvar or query string to the swf. (ex: MySwf.swf?passedPage=180" - Make an ExternalInterface call a javascript function that returns the variables to you. - Auto populate the flashvar with a serverside language: php, cf, jsp... etc.... - If you're using Flex, look into BrowserManager.
