It's pretty simple.

On the Drupal side, have your module use drupal_add_js() with $type = "setting" to add the variables you need to the Drupal.settings JavaScript object. Also create a JavaScript function that will return the values you need from the object.

Then, inside your Flash app, use the ExternalInterface API to call the JavaScript function and get the values you need.

Easy peasy.
