Hey In the embed code below, thistext will be available as _root.thistext with a value of "Staff Forum" once the movie is loaded. loadVariablesNum is not needed here.
Then get your AS to do something like field.text = _root.thistext This method is Flash Player 5+ based. Steve's method is Flash Player 6 and 7 based. Remember to add it to your object tag as well. Of course, embed isn't really needed at all unless you need to target Netcrap 4 (urgh). Mozilla, Opera 7, safari et al supports the w3c object tag far better than IE supports it.
