Thanks Jojo! I plan to open the html page from my application. I have a
browser control embedded in my application. It works when I just pass
/Storage Card/Flash/GPSRanger.html as the url. In the html page I have
the following:

<object
classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000"
codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,0,0";
width="320"
height="240" id="GPSRanger"
align="top">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
<param name="movie" value="GPSRanger.swf" />
<param name="loop" value="false" />
<embed src="test.swf" loop="false" quality="high" scale="noscale"
salign="lt" bgcolor="#ffffff" width="320" height="240" name="GPSRanger"
align="top" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"; />
</object>

But I dont want to hard-code the src of the embedded object.

I am looking forward to your script.

Yes, that was what I was trying to ask. Could you give me some more
details on how to read the query string I pass in the url?

Say, my html page is "/Storage Card/Flash/GPSRanger.html", and the
flash movie I need to play is test.swf. Is the following correct?

/Storage Card/Flash/myHTML.html?movie=test.swf
You have to type the URL as normal, just add ?test.swf:
www.somepage.com/Storage Card/Flash/myHTML.html?test.swf

Or do you want to view the HTML-Page offline? Than the URL would be
file:///C:/Path/to/site.htm?test.swf

In myHTML.html, I need to embed test.swf. Could you please give me a
sample code which decodes my query string and embeds the swf file I
sent?
If I should tell you how to read the query string I first have to know
if the site is loaded from the web or from your computer, because if you
load a local file you cannot use server-side scripts.

Thanks,
Krupa

Right, you need.
How do you open the site? If just open the file (lick clicking), than I
do not no if you can use the query string. If it does not work try to
view the page by opening InternetExplorer with the URL as opening
parameter. You could test: try to open the file first the way you wanted
to do (/Storage Card/Flash/myHTML.html?test.swf) and if the Browser does
not view the query string in the address-bar it doesn't work. Quite
simple ;-)
I'm going to send you a script which use the query String to embed your
movie, but I'll need some time to write it.

OK, my script is ready, but I havn't tried yet. If something doesn't work just tell me and I try to fix it.

First replace the src="test.swf" in the embeded-tag by id="movie".
Than add following code into your HTML-head:

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
document.getElementById("movie").src=location.href.substr(location.href.lastIndexOf("?")+1)
</script>

I hope it works...
