I am about to embark on implementing some deep linking into a Flash mini-application on a web page and wanted to know if there are any gotchas when doing this. It seems quite straightforward and uses javascript to pull it all off. Would there be an issue when using named anchor frames in multiple SWF content where the anchor names do not collide, but is this really meant for a single SWF instance? Things like that. I'm sure I'll discover something when I get into this approach.

You shouldn't encounter any issues, but it's up to how you do the internal processing. It's best if you start building the navigation with deep-linking, rather than add it to an existing interface.

I used it on my flash photo gallery and it seems to be working pretty well.”; January 13, 2008 7:13 AM
