Re: FLASH: telling a swf what html file it's in

Hi Steven -

One easy way to do this is to use the Flash ActionScript property _url. This

will be a string equal to the address in the URL field of the browser...

although it won't display the location of the HTML page, only the SWF.


Ex.

http://www.mydomain.com/defaultmovie.swf


This is one way for the SWF to "know" what location it's hosted in.


Another way is to get the JavaScript "window.location" value and pass it to

the Flash movie as a string variable.


HTH,


Matt
