Inserting an unknown Flash object.

I want a page to display a Flash object.  This object's parameters (height, width and filename) are initially unknown.  The filename is fed via a variable elsewhere in the code.  Depending on the parameters, a different Flash file may play.

Now, the tricky part is getting every Flash to display under the right size - or at least, under the right proportions.  Is there some way I can retrieve the height and width from the file using HTML/PHP in a way that's universal to all the files that will play?

The crude way is to predefine a "frame" of sorts where the file plays, where it takes up all the space it needs while remaining in proportion.  The problem here is that all the unused space still shows up.  I hope there is a more elegant way to go about this...
