Steve,

Couple of gotchas worth noting - the Browser Manager Object needs the history javascript library to be included. The history javascript library causes all sort of problems if your using IE6 (yeah I know) and SSL.

In short it wasn't worth the pain and I went for a Flashvars approach.

Indeed.. however i came across issues with parameters in the
Application.Application.url .. it comes down URLencoded
which is no real problem... whereas the other way comes down
nicely unencoded.. LOL saved me 2 lines of code ;-)

Indeed Mark, I had looked at that but I really needed to resolve the
address at app init so that i could bind the HTTPServer object to a
variable URL so that there wasn't a requirement for "Settings" in the
Flex App that required the user to enter URLs they may not be familiar
with, that and i was not embedding the SWF in a form, it was in a page.
I plan to publish my "how to logon to Domino thru flex" article tomorrow
;-) so watch this space.. LOL

Or, perhaps even easier, just Application.application.url to get at that URL (and then use the URLUtil class to extract the various parts of the URL).

nice one, i had been using computed text in the underlying form and passing it to 'flashvars' but i like your way better
