Re: [flexcoders] Re: is it possible to track visitors / the page an swf is embedded on

Application.application.url will give you the url of the *swf file*, not the 
url of the document within which the app is embedded. For that, the only way is 
to use Javascript and ExternalInterface. I think the syntax is:

var docURL = ExternalInterface.call(location.href);

or it might be document.location.href - not sure which one is right.

 Lets say I run a video site like youtube, how can I capture the url 

of

 the page where my swf object is embedded.

 

 For example someone takes the embed code from

 http://youtube. com/videoid123 http://youtube. com/videoid123  and

 places it onto the page at

 http://myblog. wordpress. com/this_ video_rocks

 http://myblog. wordpress. com/this_ video_rocks 

 

 I know how to use HTTPService to report this information back to my

 server and store it in the database, but I don't know how to use 

Flex

 3 / Actionscript 3 to determine the URL of the page that embeds an

 swf. In the example above I would want to capture:

 

 http://myblog. wordpress. com/this_ video_rocks

 http://myblog. wordpress. com/this_ video_rocks 

 

 Thanks.

If possible, you could look into Google Analytics to do the tracking for
you:

Worth a look, but might not meet your requirements.

 

HTH,
