ActionScript 3 - Getting URL Parameters

This is probably a very simplistic question but my brain is fried and I must not be searching the right thing on Google because I can't seem to find the answer.

I have a SWF on a web page that is called like so:

HTML Code:

Original - HTML Code
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash data="c.swf?path=movie.swf&myvar=myval" width="400" height="300"> <param name="movie" value="c.swf?path=movie.swf&myvar=myval" /> <img src="noflash.gif" width="200" height="100" alt="" /> </object>


<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash
data="c.swf?path=movie.swf&myvar=myval" 
width="400" height="300">
<param name="movie" 
value="c.swf?path=movie.swf&myvar=myval" />
<img src="noflash.gif" 
width="200" height="100" alt="" />
</object>

Using the above HTML, how can I access the value of myvar (myval) inside the Flash file.

I know this is a very noobish question but I am very new to Flash.

Heya, try this:

Code:

import flash.display.LoaderInfo;
trace("Path: " + root.loaderInfo.parameters.path);
trace("Myvar: " + root.loaderInfo.parameters.myvar);
