GeoIP with Flash/AS/JS?

[dave0047]

Hello,

I am trying to make a flash movie display the Geo-location of the user (city and state), just like those JavaScripts that you see everywhere that say something like: "welcome to my page, from CITY NAME, STATE NAME."

After much searching, I believe that I may have found a solution, but I do not know how to implement it. It requires the use of a ".as" file, which I have no idea what to do with. Here is where I am at:

http://www.maxmind.com/app/javascript_city

That URL shows the javascripts to use, but at the very bottom of that page is a link to an "ActionScript wrapper" which allegedly facilitates usage with Flash. I just don't know what do with with the "ActionScript wrapper" or where to go from here.

If I am not allowed to post URLs, you can google the phrase "flash geoip javascript" and it's the first link.

I'm using Flash 8. Any help is very much appreciated! thanks!

It doesn't require an .as file. Some guy simply developed a way to use it in Flash.

You're allowed to post URLs. You just have to wait for an admin to approve your post.
Did you read this in the rules thread? If you did, was it confusing?
