You can't get the local IP address in plain JavaScript, and to the best of my knowledge you can't in ActionScript either. You need a server-side language of some kind.

This tutorial (http://www.flashkit.com/tutorials/Actionscripting/Custom_D-Chris_Ir-521/index.php) explains how you can do dates and times.

Sorry I don't think i explained it correctly my flash movie has to be able to run on a web server with no server side languages and print up the users (remote) IP Adress (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) aswell as be able to print up the date (mm-dd-yy) and time (hh:mm:ss(24 hour clock)).

You explained correctly, and I answered appropriately. To the best of my knowledge getting the remote IP address with client-side scripting is not possible. The date and time is covered in the tutorial I linked to.

Ok so how do you print the IP Address up on the screen with php?
I have the Apache web srever and the php server all setup correctley.

I know the php comand is echo $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']; but how do I make flash 5 able to understand it and print it on the screen?

Or can I make flash 5 able to read java script code ie. <script> foobar </script> cause i found some code that is suposed to print the ip address up in that.

Flash uses ActionScript for scripting - it is very similar to JavaScript, but has objects suitable for manipulating Flash files rather than HTML pages. In addition, it is bytecode-compiled when you create a Flash file.

I'm not an expert on Flash, but some of the others may be able to show you how to transfer data between PHP and Flash files.

Below is a method that illustrates how to communicate from ASP to Flash. The theory would be the exact same in PHP, with just a little syntax change.
