How does Google read SWFAddress deep paths?

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...

SwfAddress conflict with SwfObject's 'callback' argument

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.

SWFAddress and Thickbox (or JQuery?) Not Playing Nice in IE6/7

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 ...

Differences between SWFAddress and JSInterface... which to choose?

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",...

button actions don't work with SWFAddress / AS2

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 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.

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...
