Hi,

I was just wondering if it was possible for a flash movie to detect the webpage it is being displayed on without any server side help?

For example, if I had a movie on the page:

“[www.kirupa.com/a/mymovie.html](http://www.kirupa.com/a/mymovie.html)” (imaginary link; does not work)

How would I be able to get the link adress,“[www.kirupa.com/a/mymovie.html](http://www.kirupa.com/a/mymovie.html)” detected inside the flash movie while its running?

For anyone who knows PHP, it would be similiar to “$PHP\_SELF” function

Is this possible?

Many thanks in advance! =-]
