Question : Can I identify if my project is running as SWF or HTML5 ?

Question

Hello,I have created a project as both SWF and HTML5 to run on various Windows based desktop computers.In the project I would like to identify if the project is running as SWF or HTML.I have looked at the system variables and can see that there is cpInfoIsStandalone to indicate if the project is SWF or EXE.But, I cannot see how I can identify if the project is SWF or HTML 5.Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.Thank youPeterCardiff (Raining and cold)WalesUK

I'm answering my own question, but would still appreciate any better way to do this.

I noticed that the SWF is called from a file ending in xxxxx.htm and the HTML5 is called by the index.html file.

So I used some javascript (shown below) to look for the current file name in use by the browser and put it in to myURL variable.

I can then use the myURL variable to identify whether the project is SWF or HTML5.

if ( window.cpAPIInterface )

{

// GET THE URL AND STRIP OUT FILENAME INTO myURL VARIABLE //

window.cpAPIInterface.setVariableValue('myURL', document.location.href.substring(document.location.href.lastIndexOf('/')+1))

}

I tested this and it appears to work.
