Greetings…

I typically don’t just ask for help without first trying to figure it out - in all honestly I just don’t have the time today and I need a quickie solution.

(I have a solution in ColdFusion and it’s super simple - I’m assuming it is in PHP as well)

PROBLEM:  
I need to link to an HTML page which contains a SWF object and pass that object a parameter.

SOLUTION:  
I’ll pass the key|value pair on the URL to a PHP page.  
Using PHP, parse the value and write that string to the appropriate place in the embedded object  
(the swf object’s source string)

I attached some simplified source files.  
index.html (would be the PHP page?)  
any\_page.html (would be the page that links to the Flash page and passes query string key|value pair )

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated as I’m running out of time by the hour!  
Thank you in advance.
