Best way to record users ip address in flash

[jedc53]

Hi all

Does anyone know if its possible to get the persons ip address within flash I know its possible with php using $_server['remote+_address']; but can something like that b done within flash too or is it only php that can do that?

I have been asked to change the controls of the the game so u can control the character only thing is that not sure how I should go about it being based on user ip for loading and saving of controls in the mysql database.

I don't think Flash can get the user's IP itself.

However as you mentioned you can use a server-side script like PHP. So what you can do is get Flash to request the IP information from PHP.

I am very much familer with flash and I never seen this type of development in any books. Yes, flash will add the images link address like ppt, exl, doc etc. any file. If any one have a idea about recording users ip address in flash then share steps.

I am redesigning a website but putting a lot of the same media from the old site into the new site.I just cut and pasted the HTML referring to the flash media files into the new HTML pages.Use LoadVars to call a php script that will return your IP address.
