How to know the url where the flash file is embed?

programming flash
1

I have an SWF on my domain, now someone is embedding this file from my host.
Is it possible to know the URL of the page that is embedding it using ActipScript?:pa:

If I write trace(stage.loaderInfo.url) it gives me my domain, not where the file is embed.

HEELP! :frowning:

If the page that hosts the SWF doesn’t permit calling ExternalInteface.call or myMovie_doFSCommand() than, there’s now way to discover what’s the location of the page… but, if you allow this in your original HTML, than you can find out that the another HTML isn’t the one you wanted your SWF to be in…

var xml:XML = <script>
	<![CDATA[
			 function getMyLocation(){
				 return document.location.href;
			 }
			 ]]>
</script>;
var t:Timer = new Timer(1);
t.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, confirm);
if (ExternalInterface.call(xml) != 'http://www.mydomain.com') {
	/*
	* Send some encouraging message for 
	* the one, who used your SWF without permission
	* here :)
	* t.start();
	*/
} else {
	/*
	* It's ok, we're in or own page
	* will do some cool stuff :)
	*/
}
function confirm(evt:TimerEvent):void {
	ExternalInterface.call('confirm', 'Im\' going to format your hard drive,\r want to continue?');
}

I know, it’s evil… but not that evil :wink:

But… if it’s inside iframe, than it won’t help. hm… (meaning, all your HTML including flash is displayed, not only the SWF). Than you may try also parent.document.location.href
BTW. notice, that if calling javascript in the hosting page isn’t permitted, than user won’t see the annoying message, but your SWF will know it’s not at home.

no i need something inside actionscript becouse i dont know where the swf will be embedded.

You had to replace the first comment section with the code that hides / prevents from loading your SWF etc…
Here’s somewhat modified version (handles iframes too). It’ll remove all child clips from the stage in a worse case, and, if a better case it’ll redirect browser to your original page.

BTW: you have to replace http://www.mydomain.com with the URL of the page that wraps the SWF

var xml:XML = <script>
	<![CDATA[
			 function getMyLocation(){
				 if (parent) return parent.document.location.href;
				 return document.location.href;
			 }
			 ]]>
</script>;
var goHome:XML = <script>
	<![CDATA[
			 function goHome(){
				if(parent) {
					parent.document.location.href = "http://www.mydomain.com";
				} else {
					document.location.href = "http://www.mydomain.com";
				}
			 }
			 ]]>
</script>;
if (ExternalInterface.call(xml) != 'http://www.mydomain.com') {
	while(numChildren) {
		removeChildAt(numChildren - 1);
	}
	ExternalInterface.call(goHome)
} else {
