You have to use JavaScript to send a message back to the flash application.
Look into the ExternalInterface.addCallback() method in actionscript.

sample:
ExternalInterface.addCallback("setTitle", setTitle);

What browser are you using?

ExternalInterface.addCallback() has some problems with FireFox.

I have 1 app that uses this frequently and its currenty working in IE6, FF2, and FF3.
the one issue I ran into was ensuring the flash app was 100% loaded first.

Really!!??? You should let the FireFox people know....nearly everything I read indicated issues with that brower.
