Flash Movie detecting its own web adress...

[PlyWooD]

Hi,


I was just wondering if it was possible for a flash movie to detect the webpage it is being displayed on without any server side help?

For example, if I had a movie on the page:

"www.kirupa.com/a/mymovie.html" (imaginary link; does not work)

How would I be able to get the link adress,"www.kirupa.com/a/mymovie.html" detected inside the flash movie while its running?

For anyone who knows PHP, it would be similiar to "$PHP_SELF" function

Is this possible?


Many thanks in advance! =-]

This worked for me, assuming that the name of the HTML file is the same as the name of the swf:

var HTML = _root._url.split(".swf").join(".html");

Of course, if you have access to PHP, a better choice would be to pass the value of $PHP_SELF along to the Flash movie with FlashVars.
