Full identification : a smart way? GerryIsHere

flash actionscript: Hi there!

Does a smart formula exist in AS to provide the User of a .swf with full
information about:
- its complete IP Address (with DNS, Town identification, Path to, etc),
- the Operating System used,
- the Machine on which it's running ?

Many thanks in advance for any link, advice or active help!

Best regards

You can get the OS from flash via System.capabilities:

For the other things, what kglad said applies. And its javascript, not Java -
in case you were not sure about the difference.

Google helps out here (I can't vouch for these scripts - it was just a quick
search) :

http://javascript.internet.com/user-details/ip-address.html

Or you could get most of what you want including the location aspects probably
from a 3rd party service like this:

http://javascript.internet.com/user-details/ip-address.html

You could include their html snippet and then extract the data using
javascript and pass it into flash via external interface.

For the "machine on which its running" if you mean the computer name itself -
I'm not so sure about that...

Thanks for replying.
This is very deceptive as I know nothing about Java...
