<br>
I just did some poking around and it looks like the original call works in
FireFox/Mozilla, but IE won't let you call the location object directly, it has
to be through a function in the <head>.<br>
<br>
Good old IE.<br>
ActiveX didn't manage to totally win the browser war, but it sure introduced
the world to a lot of viruses (virii?)<br>

color:#1F497D'>I did try something like that and just tested again using your
suggestion. When I try that locally I get
file:///I:/xerte/test_templates/index.htm but online via a toolkits
installation I get null. As Julian suggested I was wanting something like server.com/toolkits/play_123
and to be honest that’s further complicated by the fact that the QR code
and short url are generated at runtime, so even if I could get this working it
might give unpredictable results if the LO is embedded or played via preview
rather than the public url. So in short I’ve left it so that the author
just adds the public url of the LO or the address of another site/page when
authoring rather than have an option for the url of the LO to be automatic.</span><span

Ron, that's why asked if the callJS could talk to the DOM directly.<br>
<br>
In the archives I found this posted by Julian:<br>
<br>
I added a new function 'callJS(functionName, parameters)' which wraps<br>
Flash's ExternalInterface.call method.<br>
Use it like this:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<pre>callJS('myJavascriptFunctionName', 'parameters');<br>
<br>
<o:p></o:p></pre>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'>Now, if it is a wrap of the
ExternalInterface.call method, which looks like this:<br>
<br>
ExternalInterface.call(”window.location.href.toString”);<br>
<br>
then in your code,<br>
<br>
my_location = callJS('window.location.href.toString');<br>
<br>
*should* give you the URL location of the page the .rlo (or at least the swf
engine) is executing from.<br>
No need for any extra javascript in the <HEAD>. <br>
<br>

of containing all the code in the models and have those automatically detected
