Hey! Is there a way to track the users ip address? I wonna do this because i want to create a survey/poll but i dont want anyone to cheat and since my site is 100% flash, there is only one way and it is to refresh the page. So i want to create a log that will track the users ip address so that he/she wont be able to vote untill ofcourse the next one. If anyone knows how to track ip addresses please post a tutorial or anything helpful, or if anyone knows an alternate way please post also. Thanx to everyone in advance! alphaOne. ---

Total shot in the dark, but could you use shared object? That way the user would be automatically jumped passed the “voting” screen and right to whatever screen you have next…just an idea…if you’re not familiar with shared object, check this out: [http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/shared\_objects.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/shared_objects.htm) ---
