how do i pull a flash vars into a class, into a private function

private function initPlaylist(Void):Void {

    snd = this.createEmptyMovieClip("snd",this.getNextHighestDepth());
    s = new Sound(snd);

    playlistXML = new XML();
    playlistXML.ignoreWhite = true;
    var r = this;
    playlistXML.onLoad = mx.utils.Delegate.create(this, parseXML);
    **// below fileloc is the flash vars **
    playlistXML.load(fileloc+"/music.xml");

}

bah. nevermind. i figured it out.

var l = _root.flashvarname; playlistXML.load(l+"/music.xml");
