Article at EMLlabs about FlashVars
Understand the basics of how to send variables to a flash piece, and how to make use of those variables, and you've got a powerful and useful little bit of the Flash universe in your hands. "Dynamic Content: No Middleware Required - Using FlashVars to make simple content changes" is a nice intro into the subject.
And on another note, while you're all hyped up on Flash, don't forget to check-in with Scalable Inman Flash Replacement (sIFR) - the ingenious non-intrusive flash/javascript way to show headlines with your favorite font and flash player aliasing. Mike Davidson and the folks working hard on sIFR recently upgraded it to a 2.0 (rc4) release.

You might be interested in a Javascript function, writeFlash, that makes inserting flashVars a lot easier. It does all the hard work of placing the flash object with the correct settings for all the different browsers and even works with Unicode characters.
