I've only messed with Flash once, and as he found out you can
edit any text in the file by editing the associated txt file.
I would have to see the path to the flash file used to give
anymore info. The parameters still have to be received from
the txt file. He shouldn't have to change the path, it may be
a "root" path meaning the txt file can be uploaded to the root
directory after he's edited it and it should work. That path
would be something like: /flash.txt where the slash /
indicates it's to be placed in the root directory, meaning if
you wanted to actually see the file after uploaded it would be
DomainName.com/flash.txt . If it is something other than that,
then he can create the correct path.
As for the actual editing of a flash file, you have to have a
flash editor, something like Adobe Flash or Macromedia
Shockwave Flash for one example. I believe they have to be
changed to a .fla file, edited, then saved again as the flash
.swf file. Here's some other editors/decompilers:

There's a lot of info on this page, and editing info is
probably in it:

I have a friend with a problem that some of you might help
with.
This is what he wrote: Quoting James Huggins:
"I have the SWF file. I paid for it. I just want to tweak it.
It was NOT designed for much flexibility. I want to fix that.
This SWF file reaches out to a file called flash.txt to get the
parameters
for it to use. All I want to do is to be able to tell it where
to get the
parameters. I want to use it on my website but have different
parameter
files for different pages. That is not possible right now
(without putting
each page in it's own directory).
I just want to make one tiny change. The swf currently accepts
a parameter
file. I want to be able to change the name of the parameter
file to use
different parameter files on different pages."
