Are you looking for the geographical location of an IP address?

IPinfodb offers a you that service, for FREE!

We just ported the service to an ActionScript 3.0 API to open it up for other Flash and Flex developers …

Get your SWC library here. Online documentation for the API.

For this example i used Flex, but the workflow is similar for Flash programmers.

Add the .SWC file to the libs folder of your flex project.

Calling the API functions, can easily be done.

Download the Flex project.

   great post mate ,

   I think IP tracking in flash is very useful and there are not many tutorials/API’s on the net. Great job!

   Well, there are some other good IP services, but they are usefully not free, and don’t offer a good uptime like the ipinfodb service!

   Hi forrest,
   There is nothing wrong with the SWC, you probably forgot to import the reference to the IPinfodbEvents.

   import ipinfodb.events.IPinfodbEvents

   If it’s not working, please supply some more details…

    This API also works with Flash CS3, you can download the SWC as described in the post above. Code is the same.
    Furthers questions can be posted here.

    Hi,
    You will have to reference to the SWC file from Flash.

    Read more about the issue at title: Testing the project in Flash
    Hope it finds you right.

    Good Luck!
