how do i pass a parameter to flash from Internet Explorer and pick it up in flash.  
this is just to be able to detect whether somebody has visited my site before and can skip to the last frame of my flash movie.

Hoi

you have to add this in your html page

```php

<param name=flashVars value="var1=seeItWorks">

```

you will see more “param” tags so you can just and it there
