I just added an option to send a text message to my cellphone on my site… I wanted to know if there’s a way to get a users IP address using ActionScript, so that I can get it in case someone decides to stalk me…

Not in AS, but through PHP you can. How to go about that with your form I have no clue.

i don’t think that is possible with **as** …

but you can use php [size=1]assuming that your server supports php :P[/size]

a quick example would be something like …

```php

<?
echo "&ip=$REMOTE_ADDR&";
?>

```

then place a dynamic text field on the stage with the variable **“ip”** [no quotes] [size=1]variable … not instance name[/size]  
and add this script to the timeline

```auto

this.loadVariables("file.php");

```

=)

[size=1]**[edit]**  
hmm … lost beat me :-[/size]

this has been brought up before. Kax nailed the php example mentioned in that previous thread (here):  
[http://www.kirupaforum.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=11773&highlight=ip](http://www.kirupaforum.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=11773&highlight=ip)  
though there is also an asp version mentioned there as well
