Getting the name of the monitor

I have an application that shows different windows based on the monitor station it is running from. Any suggestions on how to accomplish this?   I have not hit the right Google words yet to get a good answer.  So thought I'd throw it out to the experts.   :) Kim

I don't think it's possible to do this from a Flex app running from the web. From AIR, there's a Screen class that exposes all sorts of information about monitors: http://blogs.adobe.com/cantrell/archives/2007/12/multi-monitor_s.html Joris Timmerman wrote a helpful wrapper for Screen called ScreenManager: http://www.joristimmerman.be/wordpress/2009/03/03/screenmanager-expand-your-air-application/ Dave Watts, CTO, Fig Leaf Software http://www.figleaf.com/ http://training.figleaf.com/ Fig Leaf Software is a Veteran-Owned Small Business (VOSB) on GSA Schedule, and provides the highest caliber vendor-authorized instruction at our training centers, online, or onsi

Hi Dave - thanks for the reply.  It is a flex app- meant for an in-house project. I guess I can use cookies... I'll go that route unless you have something more clever. Kim

Apparently I can't win - cookies aren't supported in Flex.  I'll continue to look around for a solution.  UGH
