SWFAddress claims that it is search-engine friendly, but how is one supposed to feed the deep-links into search engines like Google? Because in all my SWFAddress-powered websites, not a single deep-link shows up in Google. Tried and failed methods: In the hidden-HTML, a-href (hyperlink) to deep-links such as www.site.com/#/Topic1 In t...
In firefox, using this javascript: top.location.hash = "#here%20are%20spaces"; changes the browser url to: http://mysite.com/#here are spaces I expected firefox to show the encoded spaces as %20 in the browser url. What's going on here? Why is firefox not setting the url to the string as I passed it? How can I force firefox to u...
I can't get flash preloaders to work when there is a a # in the url of my page (even without any deep linking libraries or logic). I am using flex 3.3. Flash plugins 9 and 10, all browsers. There is this bug regarding # in the url preventing preloaders from working: http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-14162 However, somehow, someon...
Hi all, For a current project we are using SwfObject 2.2 to embed flash files, and the CRD gurus are using SwfAddress 2.3 to create SEO flash goodness. Turns out that if you have both libraries included on a page, then any attempts at using SwfObject callback in the API (http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/wiki/api) prevents the SwfObje...
After prompting the user for the login and submitting it's details, my application appears in the facebook lightbox instead of the browser window. This is not the case when I remove the SWFAddress params (all the info after the hash in the URL bar). Is it possible to tell the API to ignore the info after the hash or is there a way i can ...
there is a basic example of deeplinking in flash that comes with swfaddress; it uses the solution of checking the url with a switch() statement and does something based on that case string. what is the best way to go about linking into multiple levels? i.e. ...url.com#/clients ...url.com#/projects ...url.com#/contact these are simp...
Hi. I am implementing SWFAddress into a Flash movie, and while my navigation is setting the links correctly, when I type in a specific URL, it doesn't seem to communicate with the browser at all. Am I missing a listener or something? http://client.deicreative.com/test/TBB/ This class talks to my navigation class: import SWFAddress.as...
I have a simple little lightbox form, activated by a link in my footer, implemented by the jQuery Thickbox plug-in (v3.1). It works fine in Chrome, Firefox and IE8. But in IE6 and IE7, the lightbox works only intermittently. In most cases, a new window is opened instead. This is not cool. The thing is, if I remove the reference on that ...
Hello all, hoping you can help with this. I have a link that redirects to a page on another one of our sites However, when this redirect happens, I get a "document.body is null" error from JQuery, and a similar error from SWFAddress (_d.body is null); but only in IE. However, when I enter the redirected to URL directly in IE (aka sans...
I have swfaddress (2.4) working fine on my site - the back button works, I can copy and paste urls and be taken to the correct page, etc. BUT, if I copy a url, say "http://mysite.com/#/bio", and paste it into a new browser window, the site always just loads to the home page after the preloader. What am I missing? Do I somehow need to ch...
What are the differences between SWFObject/SWFAddress and JSInterface? JSInterface has a lot more functionality but SWFAddress seems to be the standard, so I'm wondering what you choose to use and why, and if you could use both of them. Can you even do SWFAddress-like things with JSInterface? I can't seem to find out how to do "back",...
Greetings, We're about to launch a secured site (sorry, no URL) and have caught a rather esoteric bug in IE6 that I'm hoping someone might have encountered or be able to shed some light on. This only occurs when three factors are present: The browser is IE6 (it's a financial client, and that's their approved browser) SWFAddress is bei...
I am trying to make a full Flash site SEO'd and have come across a problem which it seems the swfaddress optimizer javascript can fix, but i can't find out how to configure it. Does anyone know of any documentation or examples to help me out. Thanks dai ...
I'd like to use SWFAddress in an AJAX project. On the web site there are some examples but any tutorial. Do you know where I can find a quick guide to implement SWFAddress on my web site? Thanks ...
How can I remove the hash sign (#) from the page's URL ? I am using the SWFAddress plugin (jQuery) for deep linking purposes. I need to replace this localhost/site/#blog by localhost/site/blog (Yes, #blog is just an anchor). Somehow url rewriting in .htaccess doesn't work RewriteRule /blog #blog [L] Any suggestions ? ...
Hello! I used this code for another site and it worked fine, but now I have modified it for a new site and no buttons work whatsoever. I am still new to this so I am probably missing something simple. I have given each navigation button an instance name ie. btn_X_0, _1, etc. For some frames, more than one type of button lead to these, ...
I recently migrated a large AS3 site (lots of swfs, lots of flvs) to Amazon S3. Pretty much everything but HTML and JS files is being stored/served from Amazon, and it's working well. The only problem I'm having is that I built the site using SWFaddress (actually, via the Gaia framework which uses SWFaddress), and for some reason, SWFa...
I have an actionscript function that loads an external swf and is currently linked to a button in the same swf... function btnClick(event:MouseEvent):void{ SoundMixer.stopAll(); removeChild(loader); loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onSWFLoaded); loader.load(movieSWF) loader.x=Xpos loader.y=Ypos addChild(l...
How do I incorporate Google Analytics into a Flash AS2 site that uses SWFAddress please? What code do I need and where does it go? Many thanks for your help. ...
in my flex .swf file I check for "#/1" at the end of the URL in the browser address box (and if its present, use a local Flex SharedObject to restore a previous state). if "#/1" is not present, I call SWFAddress.setValue("1") which has the effect of appending "#/1" on the end of the URL in the browser address box, if that top level URL...
