Flash :: How Do I Get The Http Address?

How Do I Get The Http Address?
i am trying to get a flash ".swf" file to set a variable for the url that the file is embedded on. i know there has to be a way! I am using the " this._url; " to get the url, but all it gives me is the url to that swf file. I want the entire page's address to be my variable, not the swf url. I am trying to send that variable over to a php page to write it to mysql, but i can't get it to give me the right variable.

lvOut.address = this._url; //this sends the variable to php

it does send the variable, but the variable is not the full url to the page it is loaded on, it is the url to the flash file

Please help!

I would like example codes, not other sites or posts! Thanks!!!!

Getting A Current HTTP Address
I'm sure this a common Actionscript method, but my websearch on how to do this is turning up no results.

Using MX 2004 I am trying to get the current value of the web address in which the swf is residing and have actions take place based on the HTTP locations.

ie;
var a:String = this.HTTPaddress;
var b:String = this.HTTPaddress;

(have certain actions take place based on above vars.)

Thanks for all your help!

HTTP Status 404 Http://localhost:8080/flashservices/index.html
Why if I type "http://localhost:8080/flashremoting/gateway" (flashremoting is the context root)in the address bar, I will get a HTTP Status 404 error: The requested resource (/flashservices/index.html) is not available.
If every thing is ok, it should show a blank page, right?
Thanks

By the way, if I set gateWayUrl to "http://localhost:8080/flashremoting/gateway", I will get an error of "flashgateway.adapter.NoSuchServiceException: No service named flashremoting is known to Flash Remoting MX."
if I set it to "http://localhost:8080/flashremoting/", I will get an error of "NetConnection.call.BadVersion"!

I am quite confused now, can anyone help me out?
I am using flash mx 2004 pro, flash remoting mx with components installed. And tomcat 5.0

[F8] Links In Single Swf To Http:// Http://www And Https://
Hey everyone, I have an swf with several links to "http://www.infiniteguitar.com/blahblah.php". You can see the swf on the top left of the site here: http://www.infiniteguitar.com/ where it says "Lesson Links".

My problem, is that the links only work when the address bar in the browser specifically says "http://www.blahblah" with the "www". However, if I used the following URLs, the links don't load:

http://infiniteguitar.com
https://www.infiniteguitar.com

Is there something I have to do in the actionscript to make the links load no matter what the beginning of the URL says. I'd like the links to work on secure pages as well as when the "www" is not present in the URL.

Thanks for any help!

GetURL Works In Http://www.site.com But Not In Http://site.com
I'm using a getURL function to pass some querystring parameters which changes what content is displayed on the page. The function works correctly on the address 'http://www.site.com', but for 'http://site.com' there's no action at all aside from the cursor change. The two addresses are pointing to the same files. The function is as follows:

Attach Code

this.onRelease = function() {
getURL("http://www.site.com/Default.aspx?Region=1", "_self");
};

Loadmovie --- Http://www.mysite.com ::: Http://mysite.com
Ok, I'm aware that when using loadmovie and embedding your main Flash movie into HTML, absolute URLs are best used.

Does anyone know why they only work with the http://www prefix rather than http:// ?

Or more importantly, anyone know how I can get round it?

Here's a couple of examples:

http://www.telekin.co.uk/outback/
http://telekin.co.uk/outback/

Click on one of the 3 boxes in both instances and you'll see what I mean.

I've tried searching but got nowhere. Anyone else had this problem?

Thanks in advance!

Http://www.domain = OK Http://domain = ERROR?
I have a page that if the URL path in the browser is http://www.domain the page works fine but if the path is http://domain I get that message informaing me that a script is causing it to run slowly and to disable running the script. I really don't understand how to troubleshoot this as it is the exact same page either way. I dont really understand why that can cause flash to malfunction?

Any ideas?

Thanks.

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.

How Do You Get IP Address
How do you get the IP address of the user that clicks on my flash button? I'm using Flash 5.

Can you grab a client's IP address through flash a flash movie?

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

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 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,

Everytime I open the actions panel in Flash MX I get the bomb and restart with the message 'address error' .

I have talked to customer and tech support and Macromedia and think it is the worst support program I have ever dealt with in my entire life. I am personally offended by how I am being treated as a customer.

Any help would be grateful.
