this to the site this morning. I just posted it and you can find it: http://www.flexauthority.com/samplesIndex.cfm?sampleID=39
Let me know if that helps.

Getting client's IP address
Thanks, all! I will let you know if one of these works for us,
but they
all sound like reasonable solutions :-)

You could also pass it to your mxml file as a
flashvar, as long as you
have the variable declared in your root
application. I do something
similar to the following from within a jsp page:
!-- index.jsp --
html
head
titleflex/title
%@ taglib uri=FlexTagLib
prefix=mm /
%
String ipAddress = null;
if(
request.getHeader(X-Forwarded-For) == null )
{
ipAddress =
request.getRemoteAddr();
}
else
{
ipAddress =
request.getHeader(X-Forwarded-For);
}
%
body
mm:mxml
source=myApp.mxml
mm:flashvar
name=IP_ADDRESS value=%= ipAddress % /
/mm:mxml
/body
/html
Be sure to have the variable
IP_ADDRESS declared in the root of your
mxml application.
Hope this helps,
Andrew

Hi,
I do this with a simple .jsp script in the
Flex app. You can include
something like the following:
getIPAddress.jsp:
clientip
valGet%=request.getRemoteAddr()%/valGet
/clientip
Then call that within Flex in an HTTPService
and parse the return.
HTTPService.result.clientip.valGet , etc
Then you can store that in a sharedobject or
whatever you want.
Hope it helps.

I assume it's a http service you're
using that calls the PHP page to
get the IP? I think the web
service calls are proxied by default.
Try adding the
useProxy=false property in the http service, that
should tell the app to go to the web
service directly.

We've got a Flex app that is
calling a PHP script to retrieve the
end-user's IP address (for an
authentication procedure), but the
IP
address that is returned is the
address of the Flex server, not
the
client. Any thoughts on why
this is happening? And, how do we
work
around it?
