I agree...
I wanted a way to display certain content in Flash dependent on what
html page
was delivered to the viewer without adding FlashVars code to the html
page.
So what use is "this.url" if it only shows me the path to the swf?
None really.
I could be wrong though...in which case I would like to be enlightened.

can't be used the way that it would be most desirable.
Flash needs to have this ability natively through the ocx.. without
the
dependence of html javascript, and until this is put in by MM, will
continue to be a problem for all of us.

Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Way to get URL of host page?
I needed to find this info as well and tried this.url but that only
returns the location
of the swf not the html page the swf is in.
I made a sample to mess around with this issue...
I had to use javascript to get the href and pass it to Flash. I do
this onLoad but incase
the user has popups blocked there is an html link on the page to send
the var to flash.
