hello and welcome to actionscript.org..

please be patient as this is FREE advice we're providing.

heres an example of using a param tag in an object tag
<object classid="clsid:F08DF954-8592-11D1-B16A-00C0F0283628" id="Slider1" width="100" height="50">
<param name="BorderStyle" value="1" />
<param name="MousePointer" value="0" />
<param name="Enabled" value="1" />
<param name="Min" value="0" />
<param name="Max" value="10" />
</object>

heres more information on it:
http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_param.asp

you obtain the value by specifying the param value on the _root timeline in your actionscript
then assign it to a variable
for the example above (ps i know its a slider bar object tag :p)

var myVar = BorderStyle;


hth,
