Javascript question for Flash - Can I get my Flash to check if the page that loads the movie is the right one?

[simms]

Sorry, verbose question to a simple solution. I have a *.swf that I made, and it's just a midi/mp3 file. Can I use a Jscript/Actionscript to make it so that it will check the URL of the document that's accessing it, before loading/playing? That way people can't hotlink my swf file and use it.

Any way around it, suggestions?

Try google on "flash referrer script"

Google knows all.

yup, but it can't help much if i don't know what i'm looking for. in theory, i'm looking for something like:

<script>
alert(document.referrer);
if (document.referrer.indexOf('mysite.com')<0) {window.location.href="http://www.yahoo.com/index.html"}
</script>

So... is it telling me the document referrer, and then comparing it to the page that it should be loaded on? If not, then it loads Yahoo in the window? I have no idea
