[flexcoders] Detecting Client Country or Location

2006-03-03 Thread Dan
hi,

As Actionscript can detect the OS version of the client machine, is 
there any way that a flex application can detect the country of the 
client? Since we want to store the information for analysis. Any people 
come across this before?

Any suggestion?

Thx
Dan

http://www.hostip.info/

basically you will have to rely on another service to give you the answer.

thanks,

Use server-side programming or / and services like GeoIP
