If you want to share variable between 2 swf then you can use SharedObject.

See for detailed help and a big example:

http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/flash/net/SharedObject.html#includeExamplesSummary

Or check this for a more comprehensive example: http://drawlogic.com/2008/01/10/howto-sharedobjects-for-local-storage-as3/

Some code to write a variable:

import flash.net.SharedObject;
var so:SharedObject = SharedObject.getLocal("userData");
so.data.username= "user1377";
so.data.pwdhash= "[hash] or pwd";
so.flush(); // writes changes to disk

code to read same variable:

import flash.net.SharedObject;
var so:SharedObject = SharedObject.getLocal("userData");
var username:String = so.data.username;
var pwdhash:String = so.data.pwdhash;

Just like a cookie ;)

You can add parameters in the URL, sort of like how you would send parameters to a script:

/path/to/the.swf?param=value

They will be available from ActionScript just like regular FlashVars, e.g. via Application.application.parameters["param"] in Flex, LoaderInfo(this.root.loaderInfo).parameters["param"] in AS3 or _root.param in AS2.
