How can I tell a movieclip, such as a menu at what frame it should start from a URL with variables in it.

For example:

if the url is [http://www.mysite.com/index.php?id=contact](http://www.mysite.com/index.php?id=contact)  
my menu movie should have the contact button highlighted being frame 10 of the menumovieclip  
and if the url is [http://www.mysite.com/index.php?id=company](http://www.mysite.com/index.php?id=company)  
my movieclip should start at frame 12

ALso i would like to load some fotos in it at the specific url  
being company.swf and contact.swf

Is this possible? And if it is, how can I do it?  
I’m a total actionscript newbie, so full code please…

Thanks in advance
