Matt, I tried your suggestion, and something weird is happening...
In my code, I have (I also tried creating a variable): <mx:Image source="boxes.swf?line1=TESTLINE1"/> At this point, I'm just hardcoding to test this. If I request my mxml application with this Image tag in it, I can see that it makes the correct request (GET /boxes.swf?line1=TESTLINE1), however, line1 in the movie is undefined. If I make the same exact request via a browser (http://localhost:8080/boxes.swf?line1=TESTLINE1) line1 has the value passed. It's like the Image tag is resetting all the variables I pass to my movie to 'undefined'. Any idea? I can't think of any other way of getting variables to my flash movies in Flex.
