Get current URL? 1

[MrPink1138]

Is there any possible way in actionscript to retrieve the URL of the current page?

_root._url will give me the URL of the swf file, but what I need is the URL of the html page that's loading the swf file.

Any ideas?

No. You have to use either FlashVars to pass the URL to the SWF or call Javascript to retrieve the URL. The 1st option is much easier and more reliable.

Cool... thanks. I've ended up using FlashVars to pass the URL in. Still baffles me that Flash doesn't have a built in actionscript for this.
