CORRECT?

1.  Add to html:

<script language="JavaScript">

function urlF(){
return location.href;

}
</script>

in flash - main timeline:

import flash.external.*;

var urlS:String = String(ExternalInterface.call("urlF"));

trace(urlS)

theurl.text=urlS;

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

var alphaNumS:String = "0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz";


testF(s:String,n:Number):Boolean{

var num:Number=0;

for(var i=0;i<s.length;i++){

if(alphaNumS.indexOf(s.substr(i,1).toLowerCase())>-1){

num++;

}

}

(num<n) ? return false: return true;

}

1.  use getURL() if you want to open a new browser window or change what's loaded into the current browser window.  and use the _url property of the main timeline if you want to know the swf's url.  if you want to know the embedding html's url, use javascript and the externalinterface class.

2.  i have no idea what you're asking.

1. Embedding html's url - Could you show me a sample code?

2. In a FORM - I have several fields as "REQUIRED FIELDS". I dont want someone just pressing the space bar for those REQUIRED FIELDS and hitting the submit button. How to make sure the REQUIRED FIELDS are filled with charactors rather than *,#,%,^, spaces ?

1.  in your html:

<script language="JavaScript">

function urlF(){
return location.href;

}
</script>

in your flash:

import flash.external.*;

var urlS:String = String(ExternalInterface.call("urlF"));

trace(urlS)

2. use testF() to test if any string contains, at least, n alpha-numeric characters by using testF(anystring,n)

var alphaNumS:String = "0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz";

testF(s:String,n:Number):Boolean{

var num:Number=0;

for(var i=0;i<s.length;i++){

if(alphaNumS.indexOf(s.substr(i,1).toLowerCase())>-1){

num++;

}

(num<n) ? return false: return true;

}
