Hello, I am trying to pass a vaiable into Flash using the url. Here is my object/embed tag:

\<OBJECT classid=“clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000” codebase=“[http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0](http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0)”  
WIDTH=“732” HEIGHT=“158” id=“aboutmain” ALIGN=""\>

\<PARAM NAME=movie VALUE=“aboutmain.swf?toggle=1”\> \<PARAM NAME=quality VALUE=high\> \<PARAM NAME=bgcolor VALUE=#FFFFFF\>

\<EMBED src=“aboutmain.swf?toggle=1” quality=high bgcolor=#FFFFFF WIDTH=“732” HEIGHT=“158” NAME=“aboutmain” ALIGN=""  
TYPE=“application/x-shockwave-flash” PLUGINSPAGE=“[http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer](http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer)”\>\</EMBED\>  
\</OBJECT\>

and here is the code in Flash:

if (\_root.toggle) {  
gotoAndStop(“end”);  
}

I have named my frame properly but the movie still completely plays. Am I doing something wrong here?? Thanks for any advice…
