            Thanks John,

That definitely works, although I was curious how to do this using 
non-Flex API calls.   I figured out that part of my problem is that at 
creationComplete(), the Application is not added to the display-list, 
and thus you can't find out the root or stage.  So, I changed the 
example to applicationComplete, and at that point the stage, root, and 
loaderInfo objects are defined and you can access them.

My next question - how do you find the base URL in a data class with no 
reference to a DisplayObject? It seems like you need to get access to 
the global display list, but I am unsure how to do that.

Working code to access the url and stage.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" 
layout="absolute" applicationComplete="{ showURL(); }">
<mx:Script>
    <![CDATA[
        import mx.controls.Alert;
        private function showURL() : void
        {
            Alert.show( "url: " + this.loaderInfo.url + " stage: " + 
this.stage );
        }
    ]]>
</mx:Script>  
</mx:Application>
