Get URL of current page from Flex 3?

Question

How do I determine the URL of the current page from within Flex?

Answer 1

Using ExternalInterface (flash.external.ExternalInterface), you can execute Javascript in the browser. Knowing this, you can call

ExternalInterface.call("window.location.href.toString");

to get the current URL (note that this will be the page url and not the .swf url).
