Variables in JS/HTML not getting passed to SWF on 1struntime.

I'm having an issue with getting variables to pass from a query string, to
JS/HTML, to Flash on 1st runtime; 2nd, 3rd, ..., Nth runtimes work fine.
Here's a the step-by-step explanation of how I am doing this:

[bullet]Starting out on the
http://www.deforestarchitects.com/pages/clients.htm page, if you click on one
of the "See their project" links, it should take you to a project page that
hosts a SWF file that will then display the correct, corresponding project for
that client.[/bullet]
[bullet]When the "See their project" link is clicked, it will then direct you
to a page, but appending a variable in a query string (i.e.,
http://www.deforestarchitects.com/pa...ject=fairhaven). [/bullet]
[bullet]This variable is then passed to the object, param and embed tags by
appending document location search after the *.swf in the param value and embed
src properties (see attached code).[/bullet]
[bullet]When Flash acquires this variable, it will then use it in a
conditional statement on Frame 10 of the timeline to display the appropriate
section of the Flash movie (see 2nd attached Code).[/bullet]
[bullet]So, upon entering this projects page, the Fairhaven project should be
displayed (using the URL/example from the 2nd bullet). However, it only works
if you go back to the previous page and click on the same link. What
gives?[/bullet]

If anyone has run into similar problems, I'd love to hear what you did to
solve you issue. I appreciate any advice or help on this issue. Many thanks!

<object>, <param> and <embed> tags:

document.write('<object classid="clsid27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#ve
rsion=7,0,19,0" width="803" height="457">');
document.write('<param name="movie"
value="flash/remodels.swf'+document.location.search+'">');
document.write('<param name="quality" value="high">');
document.write('<embed src="flash/remodels.swf'+document.location.search+'"
quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="803" height="457">');
document.write('</embed>');
document.write('</object>');

Conditional Statement in Flash:

if(_root.project=="zipperhouse"){
gotoAndStop("zipperhouse");
trace("zipperhouse variable received");
} else if (_root.project=="fairhaven"){
gotoAndStop("fairhaven");
trace("fairhaven variable received");
} else if (_root.project=="tangletown"){
gotoAndStop("tangletown");
trace("tangletown variable received");
} else if (_root.project=="thenest"){
gotoAndStop("thenest");
trace("thenest variable received");
} else {
play();
}

Bullets in this forum are useless!!! Here's my original post again without
bullets:
