Since October, I have been receiving at least one email a week on my deeplinking with SWFAddress tutorial. I thought that one in particular might be of use to others trying to master deeplinking, so I am posting it here with his approval.
Ever been annoyed when someone clicks the “back” button while viewing a Flash presentation? Your initial reaction is, “You can’t do that in Flash!” Or, even more frustrating, you want to show someone a cool component within a Flash project, but it’s too confusing to say, “Go to this URL, then click “Videos,” then click “My video.” etc etc? Actually, neither of these quirks should arise anymore. Let me introduce you to SWFAddress and SWFObject, which enable the back/forward buttons of your browser AND allow for deep linking.
