I have been on this referer issue for ages!!

the :

var url:String = String( ExternalInterface.call(” function(){ return document.location.href.toString();}”));

worked a charm!! Im using as2 and flash 8..

as3 is almost the same which is why it was killing me.

I happen to be addressing this same problem. I forget where I saw this trick, but this works for me (adapted for your variable names)

var currentUri:String = String( ExternalInterface.call(” function(){ return document.location.href.toString();}”));

So, the idea is that your call statement calls a function defined on the fly and returns the value you are interested in.

Where would it be set to never?

Of course, this only works if “allowScriptAccess” is not set to “never”. Which is where I find myself… :(

Try tracing:

document.location.href

and see what it returns. You shouldn’t be getting that error as you are saying .toString()

I have never developed in flash though so can’t really help. Sorry

“if i change it to var currentUri:Object”

would this work in flash? , when i try in flash8 AS2 i cant import the package without errors but:


var currentUri:String = ExternalInterface.call("document.location.href.toString");

gives me an error


**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=Layer 3, frame=1:Line 6: Type mismatch in assignment statement: found Object where String is required.
     var currentUri:String = ExternalInterface.call("document.location.href.toString");

if i change it to


var currentUri:String then it returns an empty object.
