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>
