interaction web and AS (Flash)

Hi,

Is it possible :
- from PHP page to pass parameters to Flash (SWF) file ?
- from Flash (SWF) file to retrieve parameter to PHP page ?

i'm asking that because i would like to do the following things :
- in my PHP page, user will select interface language and automatically
the flash should turn all text strings (located inside the flash) into
selected language.
- Flash animation should be able to retrieve variable value from
PHP/HTML in order to use them like : read/save from/to database postgresql.

thanks a lot,

A.
