If i had this parameter set in my swf embed code:

\<param name=“url” value=“[http://www.somevalue.com/read](http://www.somevalue.com/read)” /\>

and wanted to tell actionscript to read the value of “url” to be stored in a variable, how would i go about doing this?

I’ve searched google and tut sites and cant find anything on it. Any help would be greatly appreciated…thanks much! 🙂
