Not a dumb question. I will include a tutorial on how to receive the link into your swf files. In coding this, I included some javascript that passes the correct link as a variable into the swf file for each possible instance(if you choose to use it)
This is the way I have used the variable in the past so you can get an idea on how to use it:
I put it at the beginning of my 'Loading' loop.
The variable '$j' is used as a catch for any browsers that do not allow javascript or the setVariable command (NS6), it simply defaults it to the main menu.
Also, do not predefine any variables within the Flash movie that are to be passed from javascript, doing this will overide the variable with the in-movie definition.
