Hi Kerry,
Digging a few years back, I unearthed some code.
Here's the html:
<object data="main.swf" id="main"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
width="980"
height="600">
<param name="movie" value="main.swf" />
<param name="menu" value="false" />
<param name="quality" value="best" />
<param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" />
<param name="flashVersion" value="9" />
<param name="flashVars" value="product=test"/>
</object>
And this is from the Main Class constructor:
product = root.loaderInfo.parameters.product;
For the life of me I can't remember why I used root in a Main constructor
(copy-pasta from another class or maybe the movie was loaded by another?),
but it worked.
Maybe you could try this combo with a bare-bones test movie.
(Note: This wasn't done in FlashBuilder, though - Flash IDE compiler with
FlashDevelop for code editing)

Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Accessing FlashVars
That's one way of doing it, but the embed tag has been deprecated. Well,
maybe not officially deprecated, but it's considered obsolete.
I've done some more digging, and it may not even be related to the
FlashVars. There are some other things in the HTML that aren't working, so
there may be a deeper, or prior, problem.
Thanks, Karl.
Cordially,
Kerry Thompson
