i’m trying to fill out dynamic text fields by adding to my url like so:

```auto
www.example.com/flash/movie.swf?name=gunchowder&status=dumb

```

how should i proceed?

if the url could link to the html in which the swf was loaded instead of to the swf directly, that would be even better… but that might or might not complicate things (i don’t know)

thanks!
