Has anybody had experience with passing variables to a Flash file from html?

I have a html page (changing to ASP once the markup code is sorted) with the
following code in the Flash <.object> tag:

<param name="movie" value="flash/navbar.swf"><PARAM NAME="FlashVars"
VALUE="frameNumber=65"><param name="quality" value="high"><param
name="SCALE" value="noborder"><embed src="flash/navbar.swf" width="750"
height="110" quality="high"
pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" scale="noborder"
FlashVars="frameNumber=65"></embed>

The idea being that there is a variable called "framenumber" on frame 1 of
my Flash file with the instruction in actionscript "goto 'framenumber'". For
some reason I can't get this to work and the flash file continues to play
frame 1 to 5 preload and then continue as normal, stopping on frame 10.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
