Is it possible to add code (…html or php?) to an html link (i.e the link will be featured in an html website) that passes a variable into the flash site it links to (just something simple like '\_root.pageChoice = “home3” '? So when the site opens the swf turns to a certain page?

This will be necessary as there will be links to the site from different html sites and each will need to see a different version of a certain page

thanks in advance for any help
