One of the "tiny" details is embedding the Flash object. The JavaScript file flashcheck2.js does exactly this, as well as other stuff. For example, it checks whether a Flash player exists (Flash plug-in or ActiveX control), and whether its version is higher than the minimum required by the application.

  mySwf.TGetProperty(timeline, propertyNumber);

  mySwf.TGetProperty(timeline, 15);

Rewind | Play | Get URL

Here is the source code:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" SRC="flashcheck2.js"></SCRIPT>
<A href="javascript://" 
   onclick="javascript:mySwf2.Rewind(); 
   return false">Rewind</A> | 
<A href="javascript://" 
   onclick="javascript:mySwf2.Play(); 
   return false">Play</A> | 
<A href="javascript://" 
   onclick="javascript:alert(mySwf2.TGetProperty('/', 15)); 
   return false">Get URL</A>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
  var mySwf2 = Flash_embedSWF("opener.swf", "opener");
</SCRIPT>
