[SWFObject] JavaScript to Flash 7

[Geoff Stearns]

you can't get return values directly...

you'd have to call a function in the html page and then have the page  
send the data back into flash in an asynchronous way.

same thing going the other way, if you want to send data from  
javacsript into the flash movie, you can do that, then have another  
function send some data back out as the result.
