Hi,

Thanks for taking the time to read this, and hopefully help me out.

In actionscript I am trying to get the location of the host html doc that has the .swf embedded (ie: [www.mydomain.com/about/index.htm](http://www.mydomain.com/about/index.htm)).

I have tried the \_url method in actionscript, but it returns the path of the .swf doc relative to the website (ie: [www.mydomain.com/assets/flash/myswf.swf](http://www.mydomain.com/assets/flash/myswf.swf))

Is there a way to achieve this in Actionscript? I looked into fscommand but I need this to work with Safari for Mac OS.

Thank you for all and any help.
