[Flashcoders] detect request from Flash Player?

I can use PHP ( echo($_SERVER[HTTP_USER_AGENT]); ) to detect a request from the Flash IDE or from Central. Both show a user agent of Shockwave Flash. However, when I open a standard Flash SWF in the web browser either embedded in an HTML page or just opening the SWF directly in the browser

no, but you could fake it by appending something to your requests, like so: http://www.example.com/loadstuff.php?reqfrom=swf On Jun 19, 2006, at 5:55 PM, Mike Lyda wrote: I can use PHP ( echo($_SERVER[HTTP_USER_AGENT]); ) to detect a request from the Flash IDE or from Central. Both
