I've taken some time to search these archives, as well as other resources on the web, but cannot come to a definitive conclusion:
1) When a .swf is accessed directly, through a browser, what is the correct way to access the fully qualified URL? (i.e. http://www.mydomain.com/files/flexapp.swf). There are a number of posts about using mx.core.Application.application._url, but this is undefined for me. 2) When a .swf is accessed by being embedded in an html page, what is the correct way to access the fully qualified URL? Again, a number of resources point me to using a javascript solution, but I'm surprised I can't gain access to this information directly from Flash/Flex and have to rely on an external dependency. Why do I need this information? My Flex application could be served from any hostname, and I need to establish a socket connection (requiring an absolute url) back to the server hosting the .swf to do some RPC.
