Not sure if I understand your question all the way but here it goes.
In your HTML page you have the object code for loading the Flash movie. In this code which you can auto generate in flash it links to your Flash file in your directory. SImply attach a ?variablename=test and reference it in Flash with the same name.
Make sense?
