Location aware Flash Player

[spandexllama]

Hello all,

Hoping someone could help me out...

I have created a flash movie that can either record a FLV movie or upload and convert an existing movie into an FLV. The movie name and location is then saved on a database.

I now need a flash player that can open the correct FLV depending on what page it's been opened onto.

eg - Fred, Barney and Wilma upload/record one movie each. Betty wants to watch the movies, so she goes to the movies index and clicks on the link to open Fred's movie. Once the page opens, the Flash Player checks it's location(Fred's page) and calls the relevant movie from the databse (Fred's movie).

Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance,

a user can only upload one movie at a time? meaning only one movie is a associated one user?

if that's the case, you can just rename the flv to the user's name.... fred.flv, wilma.flv etc...

so the page would call up the appropriate flv depending on who is clicked.


or if more than one movie is assciated with one user, then you would have to build a database to keep track of who and what.

Thanks for the advice - In the end I got a coleague to set up a database to hold the information.

Thanks again!
