Address Bar.
Hey,
I'm trying to make an address bar like that of the one in internet explorer, so that when you type in an address it's displayed, for example if the user enters 'www.mypage.com', then it should take the person to that website.

Thank you.

Is It Possible To Know What URL Address You Are On?
Pardon my ignorance, but is there a way to find out what URL the page is on? or am I missing a fundamental stop(); and something else?

I have a menu that I use in my htm documents for a web site to navigate through it. When a page is selected, an animation is played and it graphically indicates the new page being viewed.

The problem I have is that as soon as the page loads, the movie plays from the begining as the swf gets loaded again. I have tried a stop(); at the first frame, but then the movie doesn't go to the frame where it is supposed to graphically indicate what page the user is on.

My tought is that if I can somehow read the URL I am on, then on my first page I can do some if statements to take me to the frame for each particular page so the user has the right graphical display.

Your help is much appreciated.

Is There A Way I Could Get The IP Address....
Hi you all!!!

Is there a way to get the IP Address (from within the movie) of the machine the Flash Movie is playing on?

Here's the scenario: I have multiple Flash Movies playing on remote machines, and each one has to validate against a SocketServer I have running on the Server from which the movies where downloaded from. Now the validation "UserName" has to be the IP Address.

I need to send this IP to the SocketServer so it (The Server) can look up each machine on a DB.

As always, I'll appreciate any help.

Thanks,

Francisco

Getting An IP Address
Does anyone know if you can snag an IP address in flash. Would like to be able to restrict only certain IP addresses from being able to get into my swf file. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

IP Address
I was wondering if anybody can help,

I have only just started using flash/dreamweaver....... I have made up a contact form in flash that posts to a CGI script. On the form itself I want to display the users IP address, this is to stop people abusing the form.

I have no problem using something like shtml to get the ip but I do not know how to pass that variable into flash or if there is an easier way just using action script itself

Thanks for the help in advance

Get IP Address
Probably silly Q here but am going to ahead and ask. I basically need a way to obtain IP address in flash. What I have so far;;

In PHP:

<?
$ip = getenv('REMOTE_ADDR'); //~ get ip address
$ip = "&ip=".$ip."&"; //~ make it a flashable variable
echo $ip; //~ spit it out
?>

In FLA with dynamic text box named "myTextBox" and on the first frame- the actionscript is:

myLoadVars = new LoadVars();
myLoadVars.specificvariable = "Value";
myLoadVars.sendAndLoad("http://www.mysite.com/ip.php", this, "GET");
myLoadVars.onLoad = function() {
myTextBox.text = this.ip;
};

Now it's not working. Can anyone help me out to get this fixed? Thanks!

}
function formatTitle(title) {
return 'SWFAddress Website' + (title != '/' ? ' / ' + toTitleCase(replace(title.substr(1, title.length - 2), '/', ' / ')) : '');
}

// SWFAddress actions
function btnClick(e:MouseEvent) {
SWFAddress.setValue(e.target.deepLink);
}
function btnRollOver(e:MouseEvent) {
SWFAddress.setStatus(e.target.deepLink);
}
function btnRollOut(e:MouseEvent) {
SWFAddress.resetStatus();
}

// SWFAddress handling
function handleSWFAddress(e:SWFAddressEvent) {
try {
if (currentFrame == 2 && e.value == '/') {
play();
} else {
gotoAndStop('$' + e.value);
}
SWFAddress.setTitle(formatTitle(e.value));
} catch(err) {
gotoAndStop('$/error/');
}
}
SWFAddress.addEventListener(SWFAddressEvent.CHANGE, handleSWFAddress);

How To Address An Mc In A Different Swf?
Starting my mother.swf the movieclip mc_picture is loaded as well. Also a special button.swf is loaded into a level.

Pushing a button in this button.swf loads grandchild.swf. And when reaching frame 10 of this grandchild.swf I want the MC, namely the mc_picture to go to alpha=50.

I placed the actionscript on the keyframe in the timeline.

_root.mc_picture._alpha=10;

I also used the "new name" 'mcp' for the mc_picture,
(as I had loaded it with:

_root.attachMovie('mc_picture','mcp',3);
_root.he1._x=400.3
_root.he1._y=275.1

What do I do to address my mc_picture so that it will obey?
Thanks for helping,

Movieclip Address
I have a movieclip(a) which can be loaded from any other movieclip, which could be anywhere in the main movie. When movieclip(a) unloads, I want to continue playing the movieclip that called movieclip(a). Is there an easy way of doing this? The only way I can think of is to somehow find the absolute address of the movieclip which called movieclip(a), but I dont know the commmand for doing that? Can anybody either tell me an easier way of doing this, or the command for reading absolute addresses of movieclips. Thanks
