html page refresh (html#) from flash

I am currently creating a site to sit in a data managemnt system. It's a
headache!
One of the problems is you can't just upload the files to one place so the run
together in harmony loading and unloading a variety of .swf files.

I just met the tech guy from the system and he has suggsted using a page
refresh comand with a pramater specification that would look like this

html#?menu=who1

then he would have an if comand in the page source. It would say some thing
along the lines of

if menu=who1...

load the correct page.

does any boady know if this would work and if so how to create the
'html#?menu=who1' in AS. i am using flash MX.

Thanks for any help.
