</div>

is there a way to know the url of the page a flash movie is embedded in, from within that embedded movie?  
kind of like in php, $\_SERVER[‘PHP\_SELF’] returns the page itself.  
i’m trying to pass some url string queries back to the same .php page in a getURL()

these don’t seem to work:  
getURL("?myFoo=foo");  
getURL("#?myFoo=foo");
