If you want the URL of the page (not the SWF), you can try something like:
getURL

window.location.href); void (0);');

fyi, I got this to work in both ie and mozilla..
var host:String = String(ExternalInterface.call(eval,

my goal here was to simply return the host name where the webpage is running

Re: [Flashcoders] way to get window.location from flash?
Just a quick question - do these calls to javascript work when the embed tag
has disabled script access? For instance, whenever you put a Flash movie
into a page at MySpace, they always set AllowScriptAccess to never.

Re: [Flashcoders] way to get window.location from flash?
great question..
my solution
var host:String = String(ExternalInterface.call(eval,
window.location.host));
only works when:
[ie] the id, classId and scriptAccess are included and scriptAccess is set
to always
[mozilla] scriptAccess = always
are you saying that myspace will overwrite what I put in?
I will try this out on myspace tommorrow and report back...

Re: [Flashcoders] way to get window.location from flash?
Hey Alan -
Thanks!
As for us knowing where games are being posted, the answers are sometimes
and kind of :)
For sites that support it we generate javascript code, and then we do grab
the location, in this case the full URL of the page, when the game is loaded
and log it in our tracking database.
For all sites, when a user generates the code and picks what site they want
it for, we include the name of the site in the embed code. When the game is
loaded we log that in the tracking database. So we know where the code was
intended for, but we don't know the exact URL or even if it really is on
that site, unless, as noted above, the site supports javascript.
Kind of a drag, but I have yet to find a way to get the location without
script access. But the ideas in this thread are great - some of the other
sites that don't allow javascript might not be setting AllowScriptAccess to
never, so it would actually work. I'll have to go look at the code they
generate. Doesn't hurt to try and get it...
And yeah, along with setting AllowScriptAccess to never, if I remember
correctly MySpace also doesn't seem to like # characters (like in color
values) or OBJECT tags...
best, - rajat
