Note also that Flash Player 6 allows the use of a special FlashVars
attribute in both object and embed tags to achieve just this, but unlike
attaching variables to the query string of the swf there is no length
limitation. Do a search for "FlashVars" in the Flash support section of
the MM website and you can find out how to do this in detail.

Only works in Flash 6 though...
