you *could* pass the data using innerHTML, but in some browsers the
data will be changed (IE in particular is terrible with some things)
check this blog post out for tips (read some of the comments) on the
subject:

it may be a bit more reliable to just grab the info you need using
Javascript and then passing it in using flashvars.

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.
