I am having problems with the \_url property

I need to retrieve the url from where my swf is located and not the url for the swf.

How can i do this?

The prob is that i have a swf that will do this job in a url: [http://www.beedigital.net/testes.html](http://www.beedigital.net/testes.html)

When getting the \_url property on it it always traces [http://www.beedigital.net/mySwf.swf](http://www.beedigital.net/mySwf.swf)  
and not  
[http://www.beedigital.net/testes.html](http://www.beedigital.net/testes.html)

How can i make it trace the url that is in the browser and not the url for the swf?

Thnks.
