Not with Flash specifically, but I have done some stuff with Shockwave and

Yep this is exactly how it worked. One fuseaction caused the shockwave to
be displayed, passing in whatever parameters were required, then the
shockwave handled the parameters and whatever the user did with the object,
then passed the appropriate bits of information back out again to another
fuseaction.
The shockwave was embedded in a dsp_ page and I passed in CF variables by
setting JS variables that the shockwave could read. Its a bit different (I'm
not sure how different) with Flash 5, because there is much more scope for
dynamic manipulation now than there was a year or so ago.
