cakephp requestHandler check for swf/flash

Is there a way to check if a cakePHP action is b开发者_JAVA技巧eing called from an swf/flash movie like there is for Ajax using the requestHandler?

Put a named parameter in the URL that Flash is requesting:

eg. http://www.example.com/controller/action/flash:true

Check for this named parameter in your controller (or AppController) code:

if (isset($this->params['named']['flash'])) {
    ...
}

I don't believe so. A better option might be to create discrete controller actions that you only use from your Flash app.

Not the way I think you mean. The requestHandler can detect the type of request, but I think you're looking for the request source. It might be worth trying the getReferrer() method, but you may end up needing to add a click handler to the swf (if it's yours and you have that access).
