Hey guys,

I am trying to make an external interface call on widgets I am creating to get the domain for in/out of network stats.

```auto

urlPath = ExternalInterface.call("window.location.hostname.toString");

```

Of course this is throwing an error

```auto

SecurityError: Error #2060: Security sandbox violation: ExternalInterface caller XXX cannot access http://www.facebook.com/#!/XXX?ref=profile.
    at flash.external::ExternalInterface$/_initJS()
    at flash.external::ExternalInterface$/call()
    at XXX
    at XXX

```

From what I am reading an allowscriptaccess needs to be set to always, which I can’t do because there isn’t embed code that is sent to Facebook during a share so I don’t have control over that. I have allowed access to facebook and still have no luck.

Any ideas? I’m kinda stuck here.

Thanks all
