Thanks, Gregory! I'm passing this along to the person who's been
working on parsing the image map from within flash. You approach
would seem to eliminate the need for parsing by Flash.
[Peter: what do you think?]

Hello Marc,
I can suggest the following:
1) place your image map description inside <div> tag and set ID to
this div. Say, <div id="myMap">
2) Create a function in Javascript that reads the
document.getElementById("myMap").innerHTML;
and sets some of hosted swf's var(s) according to content of this
"innerHTML".
3) From Flash, call this JS function:
getURL(javascript:...);
Done.
Feel free to ask questions or email me offlist.
