Pass data into swf from parent document 1

[natwod]

I am using Flex (basically just another way to design flash applications) and I'm trying to pass in some GET data from the parent document (a PHP file) into the embedded SWF. Is there a simple way to either retrieve the data from within Flash, or to pass it in and then use it within the Flash application?

eg. the URL in the browser would be:

http://www.somewhere.com/myFile.php?search=title&query=Patriot

Then within myFile.php would be embedded the main flash application: testing.swf

I want to retrieve the search and query values from the URL and use them inside the swf file. Any easy solution?

Thanks
ND

Use JavaScript to write FlashVars dynamically.
