Load data via GET from URL in Flash / AS3

I know it's 2016 and this is a question about Flash...

Sadly a lot of the Flash AS3 resources are no longer available as the format has fallen out of favour with web devs and the tutorials I have managed to find are all done on earlier versions of Flash - I have CS6, and some of the functions/commands don't seem to work the same way.

So my question for you S.O gurus...

How do I load any kind of data into a swf movie via a GET URL.

For example :

www.example.com/mymovie.swf?loadfile=myfile.mp3

I know I can do the following to load an external file :

var url:String = "http://example.com/myfile.mp3";
var soundFile:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);

But instead of hard coding the url how do I tell it to look for the data in the loadfile variable delivered via the incoming request?

The answer in case anybody else stumbles across this :

loaderInfo.parameters['loadfile']

Gets the variable from the url
