great question..

my solution
var host:String = String(ExternalInterface.call("eval", "
window.location.host"));

only works when:

[ie] the id, classId and scriptAccess are included and scriptAccess is set
to always
[mozilla] scriptAccess = "always"

are you saying that myspace will overwrite what I put in?

I will try this out on myspace tommorrow and report back...
