In FB2, open the html-template folder, right-click the index.template.html file and select open with -> text editor. The following changes will pass your url-string parameters on to the swf via the flashvars parameter:
line 21: var myvars = new String(document.location).split('?')[1]; line 74: "flashvars",'historyUrl=history.htm%3F&lconid=' + lc_id + '&' + myvars, Append whatever you want to the URL of your swf's html container (e.g., "?myparam=myvalue") and you will be able to access it through mx.core.Application.application.parameters.
