Current URL of the SWF file – super easy, but super annoying.

It’s just hidden, that’s all. It would be better to go back to the days of root.url, but that’s too easy.

Anyway, the super simple code is:

		this.root.loaderInfo.url

And just to make your life so much easier, here are a couple of methods to display this onscreen:

		protected function slapOnText():void
		{
			var tf:TextField = new TextField();
			tf.addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, addTFHnd);
			addChildAt(tf,this.numChildren-1);
		}

		protected function addTFHnd(e:Event):void
		{
			e.target.removeEventListener(e.type, addTFHnd);

			var tf:TextField = TextField(e.target);

			tf.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
			tf.multiline = true;
			//tf.wordWrap = true;
			tf.textColor = 0xFFFFFF;
			tf.scaleX = scaleY = 1.5;

			// currently, this adds the URL info to the view, but it can be anything.
			tf.text = "URL: " + this.root.loaderInfo.url;
		}
