Automatic updating Flash (.swf) display...?

Here's the situation. I have a flash object that acts like a news ticker, sends scrolling 'news' headed towards the left. However I do not want to have to keep remaking a new one with a different news headline.
My idea was to have the flash grab the 'news' from a <param> and display that.
Then instead of having to open it up in Adobe flash, just change the HTML and it updated immmediately.
Is this possible, either in my way or another one?
 
If I'm reading this right, the way to access it in actionscript is



_root.parametername

so, to be more explicit, you'd open up a frame, go to actionscript and type something like

textBoxName.text = _rootParameterName

(Make sure you used "export for actionscript" on the control.)
