AFAIK you can't get the client ip address using flash/flex/javascript.
Apparently you can get it using a Java Applet... but I would ask why you need
their ip address.
Are you trying to use ip address to identify an anonymous client session
without having the user login? The way I did this was to create a random UUID
and pass that through querystring with my calls to the server. I would then
create a database session based on this UUID. Something like this....
import mx.utils.UIDUtil;
public var gateway:RemotingConnection;
public function init():void
{
var uid:String = UIDUtil.createUID();
var url:String = "http://myurl.com/gateway.php?uid="+uid;
gateway = new RemotingConnection( url );
}
Hope that helps. If not, have a great Easter!

Hi, have you found the solution yet? I am in a similar situation. I
need to find out the host name of the client machine so I can send
different WebService calls to the server.
Thanks
