It uses PHP to get it.

Somebody merge these threads...

When you embed your SWF in your HTML file do this in both places the filename is needed.



src="moviename.swf?ClientIP=<!--#echo var="REMOTE_ADDR"-->"


Then in your flash movie on the root do this


onEnterFrame = function() {
trace(ClientIP);
}

I believe he is talking about grabbing a Clients IP and the answer is no. You need a server-side language to pull it.

Sure you can DP... it's just a pain cross browser since they all do it differently.

umm.... Paste a link or something then. I've never seen a way to grab a client's IP and I believe it is part of internet security.

Ok, I was wrong, it uses SSI combined with Javascript....

what's cross-browser? PFFT

IE owns 85% of the world, I don't worry about it. ;)
