my HTML is sending a variable called “username” to my flash.  
how can I receive it in flash?

i tried like below.

in HTML

```auto

 <param name="flashvars" value="username = MYNAME" />

```

in FLASH

```auto

var username:String;
var value:String;
var obj:Object=LoaderInfo(root.loaderInfo).parameters;
username = String(obj[value]);

```

thank you.
