It think you will want getURL("change_flash_value.php?flash=1") and then grab the flash variable from the $_REQUEST array.
There is a great book called "Macromedia Flash MX Professional 2004 for Server Geeks" by Nate Weiss (ISBN: 0735713820) that, while it doesn't have PHP examples, does a great job of discussing Flash/server communication.

Use SendandLoad as was done here to pass vars to a php login script:
varSender = new LoadVars();
varReceiver = new LoadVars();
varSender.first_name = first_txt.text;
varSender.last_name = last_txt.text;
varSender.password = pass_txt.text;
varSender.action = 'login';
varSender.sendAndLoad("http://"+ host + "user_logon.php", varReceiver, 'GET');
A copy of ActionScript for Flash MX, The Definitive Guide is really helpful. I don't know if Colin Moock has a MX2004 version out yet.
Hope this has been helpful - Miles
