How to detect when Flash is loaded from a local drive?

Hello,

Is there a script that checks if the flash is loaded from a local drive?

Example: Keric opens a flash file. The script then checks if the file is being played from a local drive. If it's not, ads will be displayed.

Something like a domain lock. Uhm, local drive lock? Heheh

Is this possible?

I honestly don't know, but what you can do, is to check what the URL of that flash file is, if it's opened locally, the URL will start with file:// but if it's online, then it will start with http://, so you can check if the URL contains that:

Actionscript Code:

currentURL = this._url;

if(currentURL.indexOf("http://") != -1){
    // activate ads
}

If a word isn't found, then its position is -1, that's why we check if the position of that word is NOT EQUALS to -1

Hope this works :)

Actionscript Code:

import flash.external.*;

var isAvailable:Boolean = ExternalInterface.available;
var txt = this.createTextField("txt", 0, 10, 10, 50, 20);
txt.autoSize = "left";

if (isAvailable==false) {
    txt.text = "You are from local machine";
}else{
    var url = this._url.split("/");
    var tmp:Array = new Array();
    for (var i = 0; i<url.length; i++) {
        if (url[i] != "") {
            tmp.push(url[i]);
        }
    }
    url = tmp;
    for (i=0; i<url.length; i++) {
        //txt.text += url[i];
    }
    if (url[0] == "http:" && (url[1] == "localhost"||url[1] == "127.0.0.1")) {
        url[1]="Local Server of";
        txt.text = "You are from "+url[1]+" Local Machine";
    } else if (url[0] == "file:" && url[1] != "localhost") {
        txt.text = "You are from "+url[1];
    }
    //txt.text =url[0]+ url[1];//(isAvailable); 
}
