Hello,
The parameters that you pass to the SWF in your HTML are different
to communicating with a back-end system.
If you look at URLLoader in actionscript. This enables you to load
data as you would load a web-page.
You would use URLLoader with your server-side code, e.g. PHP to do
GET and POST type requests:

This way, your users cannot "inject" their own date and it is also
possible to have "login" type facilities.
This way, what flash is doing is putting the pretty skin over your
application. The difference from HTML is that you stay on the same page
and make requests similar to Ajax.
This site might have some good tutorials to get you started.

Also, these pages should become your most "thumbed".

I'll explain further so I get valuable responses and avoid the sarcasm. My
goal is to pass in the date from the server, the application counts down,
and when the date hits a certain time, the application does something. This
something that the application does will also be loaded by calling a PHP
script that will load from a backend DB. My concern is someone being able
to launch the SWF passing in an incorrect date that will trigger this
something early.
Thanks for your help.
