Flash Website Bookmarking
post a comment | posted Feb 13
I often heard disappointment and despair in regards to creating a website entirely based in Adobe Flash CS3. One of the strongest opposition points to such a website were based on the inability to bookmark specific "locations" within such a Flash site. So i set out to figure out how to wipe away that stigma.
When it was all said and done, it was quite easy... it just took some intense pre-planning. The premise is simple:
- Import a sitemap
- Import any content relative to the pages
- Use Flash to DOM calls to control URL management
- Redirect incoming URLs to correct Flash content
As for the code and the specifics, I can't yet convince myself to pass it out to the masses. If you are nice and would like to ask for it, though, I may be willing to trade :)
