Example

The value of _url in a movie loaded from a web site looks like this:

"http://www.moock.org/gwen/meetgwen.swf"

The value of _url in a movie loaded from a local PC hard drive looks like this:

"file:///C|/data/flashfiles/movie.swf"

Here we check whether a movie is hosted in the desired location (if it’s not, we display a

frame that contains an error):

if (this._url != "http://www.moock.org/gwen/meetgwen.swf") {

trace("This movie is not running from its intended location.";

this.gotoAndStop("accessDenied");

}
