get URL as a text string

[Anon]

Can I load a URL(not on the same server) with javascript into the Parent window as a string variable that I can manipulate?

I'm using a 3rd party Chat server and I want to use Flash as an interface for it. I have successfully parsed the HTML so flash can display and respond to the conversation. The problem is that Flash can not loadVariables from a source off its own server. I'm trying to work around this by having Javascript load the HTML from Beseen and pass it to Flash thorugh Flash's DOM.

Basically, I'd like to "getUrl" but instead of load it into the browser window, contain it in a variable. Yeah, yeah, I know, it sounds like a mess, but it may be worth a try.

Thanks.

a couple of items that may be of use

to get a url of a page as text string use $PHP_SELF

for server to server postings take a look at CURL library (see the manual)

good look
