Hi,

Is there any way to read the country from which the user is viewing the swf? I’ve read in LiveDocs that, System.(…).language outputs only the language of the OS in Flash Player 7++, not the users country code.

I need this in order to further automate my site, rather than nag the user with tick boxes etc.

Thx.
