Flex: Get self SWF file name?

Question

Is there a way I can programmatically determine the filename of the .swf my class is running in?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Not from within flash, afaik. What do you need it for? There might be a better way to do it.

Answer 2

You can use loaderInfo.loaderURL to get the full path and name of you swf

Example of a class:

public class Main extends Sprite {
 private function init():void {
  removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, init);
  var myUrl:String=loaderInfo.loaderURL;
  var tmp:Array=myUrl.split("/");
  var myName:String=tmp[tmp.length-1].split(".swf")[0];
 }

 public function Main() {
  super();
  if (stage)
    init();
  else
    addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, init, false, 0, true);
 }
}

Answer 3

Stage has a loaderInfo property, which contains a url property that has the information you're looking for. You can get the stage property from any DisplayObject in Flex.

trace(stage.loaderInfo.url);
