There are a few ways you can approach this. One is you can pass the variables in via the querystring and then take them from the querystring and send them to your flex application via flashvars. If you are using php/jsp/asp or some other server side processing, this is really easy to do - just do a response.write of the qs value into the flashvar in the embed tag where your swf is being embedded into the html file. If you are using straight client side HTML files, then you will have to write the javascript to extract the parameter values from the url of the page. If you don't want to use flashvars, you could also set a variable in the javascript in your hosting html file and then use something like the Flex Ajax Bridge to get the values of those variables.
