[SWFObject] Drew's request

[Jeremy Nicoll]

  Though I do not have the time at the moment to test it out, I can't 
imagine why you can't just pass the flash file a variable (via [Name of 
SWFObject].addVariable("variableName", variableValue) in your 
JavaScript) and then access the variable in your flash file as 
_root.variableName.  For the variable value, pass it something like 
'http://www.seemysites.net' and then use something like 
getURL(_root.variableName) in Flash to actually use the link.
