Alex I mentioned that the url would be to the .swf file in my post. Rather than futz around with external interface... just append #root to your URL (for your app)... and take a look at it with BrowserManager again. To help along - I just posted a blog entry on using Deep Linking in flex. This will solve your problem without having to code around JavaScript.

If youre web page came from some other place, youll need BrowserManager or its equivalent, which is to bake in a method in your html-wrapper that you can call via ExternalInterface. ________________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rick Winscot Sent: Tuesday, March 25, 2008 8:35 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Re: Get the Domain the Flex app is running in Then you should probably stick to the mx.core.Application implementation and use mx.utils.URLUtil to extract the bits as follows: Var fullURL:String = Application.application.url; Var baseURL:String = fullURL.substring( 0, fullURL.indexOf( "/", fullURL.indexOf( URLUtil.getServerName( fullURL ) ) ) ); Var protocol:String = URLUtil.getProtocol( fullURL ); Var port:uint = URLUtil.getPort( fullURL ); Var serverName:String = URLUtil.getServerName( fullURL ); Var isSecure:Boolean = URLUtil.isHttpsURL( fullURL ); This is from memory - so... 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). 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.
