Intercept Flash HTTP requests with JS

[decepti0n]

Hi there, I know flash can load external urls (for example xml files),
is there a way to get these urls as they're loaded? I figured
javascript would be a better option over php.

Thanks for any help

Hi,

Why not let Flash tell it to Javascript when you need it?

Google for "flash javascript communication".
Here is the first hit:

Heh, because I don't own the flash. I can do what I want manually, but
it takes a while, I was just curious if it was possible in any way so
that I could automate the process.

Hmm, ok.
So you need a way to intercept the Flash request for a new URL to the
browser?
I don't think Javascript can help you there.
You could make an onUnload handler, that is fired when the page is left,
but I do not know how to capture the new, freshly requested, url.
