I do something similar to the following from within a jsp page: <!-- index.jsp --> <html> <head> <title>flex</title> <%@ taglib uri="FlexTagLib" prefix="mm" /> <% String ipAddress = null; if( request.getHeader("X-Forwarded-For") == null ) { ipAddress = request.getRemoteAddr(); } else { ipAddress = request.getHeader("X-Forwarded-For"); } %> <body> <mm:mxml source="myApp.mxml"> <mm:flashvar name="IP_ADDRESS" value="<%= ipAddress %>" /> </mm:mxml> </body> </html> Be sure to have the variable "IP_ADDRESS" declared in the root of your mxml application.
