Getting an IP address

[wake78]

Does anyone know if you can snag an IP address in flash. Would like to be able to restrict only certain IP addresses from being able to get into my swf file. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This should be done in either PHP or ASP not in flash.

This will keep flash SWF from being loaded into the restricted
IP.

Think about it it you are testing an IP in Flash that means the SWF file is either already or being loaded.

I think i can help you
your site must support asp for this function to work
and its pretty simple as well...

save ur page as yourpage.asp
and the url of ur flash movie (in side the HTML Code should be something like

youfile.swf?useip=<%== Request.ServerVariables("REMOTE_ADDR")>

in the first frame of ur movie write
if(userip!="your allowd ips"){
gotoandplay("unauthoriseduser")
}
etc etc, i think you can handel flash better than me
cuz now you have the value of the users ip in the variable "USERIP"

Do write back
