Get the domain where flash swf file is being played

Question

So I want to get the domain where the flash swf is being played and not the location of the file. If only I could get ExternalInterface to return the value like so:

var domain:String = ExternalInterface.call("document.domain");

But the above produces null.... Its an banner ad so I can't pass any flashvars to it or call custom js functions

No, that returns the location of the swf file. As I said I need the actual domain where the file is being played on. — bukowski, May 15 '13 at 08:51

It returns null because you're not calling nothing:

document.domain is the name of a variable, not a method call.

Try return document.domain instead.

EDIT:

The correct syntax is to create an anonymous function that returns the document's domain:

import flash.external.ExternalInterface;

var domain:String = "";

if (ExternalInterface.available == true)
{
    try
    {
       domain = ExternalInterface.call("function() { return document.domain; }");
    }
    catch (err:Error)
    {
       domain = "Error: " + err.message;
    }

    if (domain == null) domain = "No domain"
}

That produces javascript error `Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token return` – bukowski May 15 '13 at 09:41
Unfortunately I can't try it at the moment. I will check in the next 8 hours. – Teejay May 15 '13 at 09:58
Sorry, I haven't had time to test. I'll check it tomorrow! – Teejay May 15 '13 at 23:18
