Maybe this helps:

| <%
| CmsJspActionElement cms = new CmsJspActionElement( pageContext, request, response );
| cmsObject = cms.getCmsObject();
| String uri = cms.getRequestContext().getUri(); 
| 
| 
| String pathToFlash = cms.link( "/system/gallerie/path/go/flash" );
| %>
| 
| <param name="movie" VALUE="<%= pathToFlash %>">

And take a look at CmsJspActionElement#link
