Here's a quote from the sock drawer that might help:


"You can access a property called _url in the Flash movie that will

contain the URL of the SWF file... it's not the page that embeds it but

close. Like this:


Set Variable: "location" = GetProperty("/",_url)


You'll see that it has the full URL to the SWF, wherever it's being

hosted. You'll need to preview this in a browser (not Test Movie) to see

it. 

Some people use the _url property to prevent their content from being

hosted on someone else's page or site. "


If it works for you, then it's Matt Wobensmith you'll be loving forever.

If not, you'll have to keep searching for true love.  ;-)


Regards,

Helen
