you can use flasvars... something like this:

HTML SIDE:
<PARAM NAME=FlashVars VALUE="videolink=myVideo.flv"> include it also in the embed tag.

ACTIONSCRIPT SIDE:
videoplayers_instance_name.contentPath = _root.videolink;

Haven't tried it myself, but it should work.

No, don't use <param>

View the embed Flash properly in my signature and it will show you how to best embed flash as well as how to pass some variables.

Besides the OP asked for AS3. What you've given is AS2.

The OP NEVER said AS3... the fact that he uses CS3 doesn't mean he's using AS3. Specially since he's asking very basic questions.

jeremywilken: I doubt he'll want to use swfobject (even though it's the best approach), I've also noted some problems with it on IE7 browsers (on vista), both versions 1.5 and 2.1

My mistake I thought he said AS3 not CS3.
