Application.url is the url of the Flex SWF. If you're web page came from some other place, you'll need BrowserManager or its equivalent, which is to bake in a method in your html-wrapper that you can call via ExternalInterface.

I'm not sure if this will copy/paste. Just remember that the Application.application.url is going to report the URL to the application .swf file - and not the path to the _page_ that loads/hosts your .swf. As long as you aren't getting creative with where your .swf files live you shouldn't have any problems with this approach. Just an fyi - the BrowserManager is primarily used with deep linking and exposes fragments for internal application navigation. Give that example one more go - launch it... then in the address bar type in a #foo (exclude the # if one is already there) at the very end of the url (i.e. http://www.bar.com/myapp.html#foo <http://www.bar.com/myapp.html#foo> ). AND PREPARE TO WET YOUR PANTS!

It doesn't do the job, in fact I can't image how or where one could use it, because it seems the url has to change while the FLASH/Flex app is still alive and I've not been able to create such a case. I even tried the sample in the docs and it doesn't work. I mean it runs ok, but the properties are all null.
