Hi, is there any way to detect the url the game is being played / embedded on

so as an example page1.html would trigger a function telling the game to show 1 - page2.html would trigger a function telling the game to show 2

any help appreciated!

Use the Browser object's URL expression. (Browser.URL)

Hey thanks for pointing me in the right direction, so I have it showing the path of the original html file, but if I have the game embedded on another page, how would I get it to show the parent URL. there doesn't seem to be an expression for that?

I don't have any experience with that.

Just a shot in the dark, haven't tried this, but you might be able to use window.location.href in an Browser.ExecJS expression.

Hey, perfect that does let me use presumably all the other expressions, I just needed to tweak it to say window.parent.location.href and it displays just as I wanted. Thanks for the advice!
