How to read browser location/address url?

External Since: Apr 23, 2007 Posts: 3

Strangely enough I cannot find any information on how to detect or read an
information on the browser that embeds a Flash movie. I need url/location - the
one that is showing in the browser address bar - not loaderURL. Would be nice
to be able to read type of browser, etc. I need to do it without employing
JavaScript.

Does anyone knows where this information resides in Flash 9/AS3?

Thank you.

So far I found that you can read the location through ExternalInterface.call("window.location.href.toString").

Is it the only way?

Thank you.
