Re: [Flashcoders] Very large html document created by Flash 8 Publish

2007-01-31 Thread Jim Berkey
All of the text and links used in a swf are by default published  as comments 
in an html page outputted by the Flash IDE. The reason is to show that data to 
Google and other search engines. All of those comments may be deleted without 
any adverse effects to the swf or viewed page. And Google now claims that it 
can 'read/index' the text inside swf's anyway.
Also, many of us use Geoff's SWFObject js. to not only embed the swf more 
invisibly cross-browser, avoid the 'click to activate' in IE,  and it gives the 
opportunity to place whatever alternative content you wish in a div that is 
much more search engine friendly and offers graceful degrading.

Thanks jimbo - I wasn't aware of this. Is this something that has recently
happened?

I will be sure to look into Geoffs SWFObject

Many thanks

RE: [Flashcoders] Very large html document created by Flash 8 Publish

2007-01-31 Thread Jim Berkey
The comments with text and url's have been inserted for a long time, usually 
there isn't such a large amount that one noticed it. Geoff's javascript 
solution has been generally regarded as the best/easiest to implement, fully 
xhtml compliant method to place swf's on pages for some time now.
http://adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/swfobject.html

I place all of the searchable content in the swfobject div, right after a 
comment about installing the needed flash player to see the Rich Internet 
Content, complete with lots of h1, h2, p text that search engines love. 
Browsers with the flash player installed never see it, only the actual swf. 
Browsers without a flash player installed see this text content instead of the 
swf.
