Determine if invoked from webserver

What can I call from within Flex/AS3 that will tell me whether the flex-app/web page is being executed within the local file system or rather was served from a webserver (either localhost or some remote server). Hopefully that's clear. If there's something in Javascript that's acceptable, but some AS3 function would of course be preferable.

You could use ExternalInterface to obtain the current URL of the app, and evaluate the string for the scheme:

file:///
http://
https://

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:Application xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
               xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
               xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx"
               creationComplete="creationCompleteHandler(event)">

    <fx:Script>
        <![CDATA[
            import mx.events.FlexEvent;

            protected function creationCompleteHandler(event:FlexEvent):void
            {
                trace(String(ExternalInterface.call(" function(){ return document.location.href.toString();}")));
            }
        ]]>
    </fx:Script>

</s:Application>
