Re: [Flashcoders] history, bookmarks, etc within flash
Hi James, I'm kinda partial to the unfocus stuff myself. ;-) But it has been a while since I worked on that. I did manage to get it organized a few weeks ago, and get it into an SVN account (I couldn't get the osflash.org svn account working though). I'll be cleaning that up, but work is always very slow on my stuff. I found this a while back, and it seems to work pretty well. http://www.asual.com/swfaddress/ As far as I know, all of these libraries are using similar techniques behind the scenes (iframe for IE, location.hash/polling for everyone else). I'd say it's really just a matter of picking the one you are most comfortable with code wise. Kevin N.

Re: [Flashcoders] history, bookmarks, etc within flash
thanks to all that replied to this... i've set up swfaddress right now, but may have issues with the need for flash 8. does unfocus have any restrictions on publish settings (i.e. has to be FP8, or can it be FP7)? I've not found anything so far regarding publish setting for unfocus. I'd prefer swfaddress, as bookmarking actually works. i use firefox and bookmarking a page in unfocus did not take me directly back to my deeplink. again.. thanks for the insight. ~james On 1/10/07, Kevin Newman [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi James, I'm kinda partial to the unfocus stuff myself. ;-) But it has been a while since I worked on that.

Re: [Flashcoders] history, bookmarks, etc within flash
I have not tried SWFAddress but i've heard good things. A friend of mine, Matthew Tretter, released his StateManager not long ago which i have used however, and it's been working quite well for me in a few different projects. So to give you more choices: http://exanimo.com/as2/StateManager hope this helps some, Dunc On 1/9/07, James Dean [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I've been asked to implement back button functionality and possibly bookmarking for a flash project that I've been involved in, and I'm aware of a project from unfocus (http://www.unfocus.com/projects/FlashSuite/). basically, having the back and forward buttons in the browser respond to the flash movie rather than the browser's history.
