You can use SWFObject to add a flashvar like this:

<script type='text/javascript'>     var flashvars = {};     flashvars.targetURL = 'http://www.stackoverflow.com';     var params = {};     var attributes = {};     swfobject.embedSWF('myflashmovie.swf', 'myAlternativeContent', '800', '600', '9.0.0', false, flashvars, params, attributes); </script> 

That being said, this is assuming that within your Flash movie, it is coded such that the Flash movie is expecting that flashvar and using that link to the stipulated URL

In AS 2.0 it would be:

getURL(_root.targetURL); 

In AS 3.0 it would be:

var flashvars:Object = LoaderInfo(this.root.loaderInfo).parameters; var linkURL = flashvars['targetURL'];  var link:URLRequest = new URLRequest (linkURL); navigateToURL(link);
