GetDomain$ does not work with HTTPS://

[Francois]

Ther code for this function uses the LocalConnection object in Flash. The domain is returned by a variable in the object, that contains it. I dont do anything with the name, it comes direct out of Flash.
I have search for http/https problems with localconnection on the internet and found nothing.
So I dont think I can correct this.

Andy, if Javascript works alright, why not use a Javascript function?

getDomain = function()
{
    return window.top.location.hostname
}

Come to think of it (Francois ), the Flash Player object could probably do that internally via the ExternalInterface, as a fallback for whatever it's doing currently:

var domain:String = flash.external.ExternalInterface.call
    ("function() { return window.top.location.hostname }").toString()

Hi Jamie, that's a good suggestion too, although it still amounts to the same situation of needing to use javascript to get to a new page. Would be excellent if you can hide this away from the developer but if not I shall use the work around.

Another question then... is it possible to support relative URL's in the Flash object as this would solve the problem. Currently relative URL's dont work, ie:

OPEN URL [ "/mypage.html" ] in current window

Comes out something like http:///mypage.html int he browser address bar.

Thanks Jamie, I'll implement this.

Just realised that I have already implemented this Javascript function. In the GetWindowDomain function. You should try it, maybe it works.

I just wanted to point out that this function seems to return an empty string after the .swf was embedded with MochiMedia's Live Updates. Kind of annoying. Reported here.

If this is the case, I do not know what to do. Jamie might have an idea?
