Running dynamic movies based on location??

[simontheak]

Ok bare with me, I've had a slightly crazy idea ... and I don't know whether it's possible or not.

I'm like to try and run a dynamic Flash creative that will include the viewers town/location in a dynamically generated field. So for example, the content would say something like:

"Such and such a band coming to London[/B[" for all those people in London, but

"Such and such a band coming to [B]Reading" for all those people in Reading.

Is this actually possible? And if so how would I go about doing it? Can you get this sort of information from a users IP address or would I have to go about finding it from some other place?

Any suggestions at all would be REALLY welcome.

Thanks,

I don't know quite enough about flash to tell you if that sort of functionality is available with flash by itself, but it's definately doable with flash and PHP. You can use PHP to grab the user's IP address, look it up and pass or load the results into a flash movie.

That sounds like a plan - any idea how accurate this would be?
