Omar,
This is what I do, this works for me but do with it what you want.
This is not the exact code but a general sequence...
On the loading of the site I have an initialization of listeners and
included is the following...
SWFAddress.addEventListener(SWFAddressEvent.CHANGE, navigateToSection);
After all intro animations are complete ( if you have any) I get the
address
from the address bar and set a variable...
//var for the website address/ title
var _siteTitle:String = "Comany Name | 123 Main St. MyTown, NJ 08234";
var initial:String;
var _string:String;
initial = SWFAddress.getValue();
Then I'll send the current value to SWFAddress...
SWFAddress.setValue(initial);
Now my function that is associated with swfaddress events handles
everything
private function navigateToSection(e:SWFAddressEvent):void {
//set section from swfaddress event
_string = e.value;
var addrString:String = _string.split("/").join("");
//Here I have a switch to show whatever section the user wants to
view
switch (_string) {
case "/About/" :
//Load the About section
//The following will concat the variable for the site title and
add the current section and update the page title
SWFAddress.setTitle(_siteTitle+" |
"+addrString);
//call proper functions
dispatchEvent(new Event("open
section"));
OR
you could call a specific function to display the About section
contents
break;
case "/Contact/" :
//Load the Contact section
//The following will concat the variable for the site title and
add the current section and update the page title
SWFAddress.setTitle(_siteTitle+" |
"+addrString);
//call proper functions
dispatchEvent(new Event("open
section"));
OR
you could call a specific function to display the About section
contents
break;
//more cases below for each section of
your site
}
}
You could have an eventListener for the dispatched event (above) to
listen for "open section" then
that function could load data using the _string info as a value to
determine what to load..
I'm only on my first cup of coffee so if this doesn't make any sense
let me know.

Hi,
I've been involved into a project where the client required the deep
linking
feature.
The project is built with pure AS3 embedding symbols from a SWF
library
file, ZendAMF php and mysql,
Now the question is how can I sync the address with the current
state of my
flash movie. All I know is that I have two things to do, which are
to change
the flash state then change the address, and at the other hand to
listen for
address changes and change the state based on that change.
What sounded logical to me is to change the link address directly when
changing the state so that when the address changes, the listener
handler
logic brings the right flash state... like this:
HomeButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onButtonClick);
SWFAddress.addEventListner(SWFAddressEvent.CHANGE, onAddressChange);
private function onButtonClick(e:MouseEvent):void {
//changes the address here to "www.mysite.com/#/home
}
private function onAddressChange(e:SWFAddressEvent):void {
//reads the address, understands that refers to home, and changes
the
state to home.
}
I don't know if this is the right thing to do in this case. I just
need some
advice because things are too much buggy.
Cordially.
