Can Flash read the page on witch he was loaded or can the page tell him that?

[Moralez]

I just need to know If it is possible to read the URL on witch the swf is loaded... or if the page itself can tell the swf that.

don't know about flash, but PERL, PHP and most other server side languages can easily. Trying to make a security feature are we?

Not really... remember that Self-Assembley menubar?

I just been told that the menubar is to create itse.f based on URL on witch he was loaded, I know, I know, There are only 4 sections, the only thing I needed to do was change two variables and upload 4 SWF files (1kb each) but I have to do what they tell me to do... igh...

Hi Moralez,

i use this code to set the path to a php page on the server; it's relative to avoid problems with domain names / security issues, but when i test on my machine i want to have the full url to connect to the online db:


outputURL="scripts/output.php";
// full url insert; for easy local testing
myUrl = this._url;
//trace("myUrl = "+myUrl);
if ( myUrl.indexOf("file") != -1){
outputURL = "http://www.yourdomain.com/scripts/output.php";
}


regards,
