URL Address

[datacloud]

I want to set a variable to the URL address which was typed in to reach the page.

I need to differentiate if a user enter http://www.test.com, http://12.45.34.56, or http://www.test.com/index.html

I will be using this information in a nested if statement to alter the look of the Flash screen by shuffeling the user to different scenes.

****************
I am using the flash action script on a dynamic page

www.dynamic.com

the page has variables which are parsed from the url address
ex.
www.dynamic.com/index.cfm/4,5,html
www.dynamic.com/index.cfm/6,7,html

1st number represents the articles group
2nd number represents article number

When entering the page I need to know if the url address typed into the users browse was:

www.dynamic.com
www.dynamic.com/index.cfm/4,5,html
www.dynamic.com/index.cfm/6,7,html

this in CGI varibles would be server_name + Script_name

I will then use a action script if statment to send the script to the correct scene for that page.

U just make a submit button and attach that code to it:

on (release, keyPress "<Enter>") {
if (_root.inpuText == "http://www.test.com") {
getURL ( url, window, method );
}else if (_root.inpuText== "http://12.45.34.56") {
getURL ( url, window, method );
} else if (_root.inpuText== "http://www.test.com/index") {
getURL ( url, window, method );
}
}


and put the URLs u want

Hi...

Just curious...

Can he use HTML Referrer thing to do the job???

http refferer would tell him where the user came from... not how the user got there.
but along those lines... could you use javascript: document.location?
... document.location.href should return the current address (URL) in the address bar.... i think.


//this is untested but...
getURL("javascript: function getAdd(){return document.location.href;}");


again... untested.
... uhmmm. no space in javascript.
