how do I access variables on a cfm page with actionscript 3.0. For example. I have a flash page that loads a cfm page. This cfm page queries data from a server like this

\<cfoutput query=“getThis”\>  
&first\_name#currentrow#=#firstName#&last\_name#currentrow#=#lastName#  
\</cfoutput\>

How would I grab the first name variable. I am an intermediate flash developer but first name Coldfusion user, any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks
