I have flash file that streams an flv without problems. What I need to
do now is pass a url from an html page into the flash file so the file
knows which flv to stream. If it matters I used the Media Playback
component in MX 2004 Pro. I know it has something to do with flashVar on
the HTML side, but not sure what to name the thing or how to tell the
flash file to use it as the url for the flv.
