Flex grid and merge fields

Is there any way to get access to a merge field within the flex code?

I have a grid on one of my custom object detail pages and I need to know in my flex code what the id of the custom object's page is, so I can show the proper information in the grid...

Any ideas? thoughts?

Thanks in advance...

yes, you can set paramaters in the object imbed where the flex SWF is called , these are 'flashvars'

then you can read the value of these from inside Flex / ActionScript.

look for Application.paramater inside the toolkit to see how these values are passed from the scontrol to flex

I tried that and it lets me compile fine but when I test it out in salesforce, I get a huge error log stating something about a null reference...

never mind...I had the syntax wrong for getting the value in my flex code...

application.parameters.(name of variable) works great...

THANKS
