[flexcoders] deep linking problems

[learningflexfromscratch]

Hey all,

I've run into a problem when trying to get deep linking to work in my
Flex application.  I'm pretty sure I'm just missing a very basic point
about file structure or something, as I'm new to this.  The problem is
this:  I've copy and pasted some example code from Adobe labs
   into Flex Builder, and when I run the app from the IDE,
everything seems to work fine.  (The fragments update, and the browser
navigation works).  However, and this is probably where I'm making some
mistake, when I perform a "release build", and then upload all of the
files from bin release to my server, the fragments in the URL no longer
update.  I've tried to follow the instructions as closely as possible. 
I've uploaded every file from the bin release folder to my server.  Is
there something I'm forgetting to change in the code, or is it possible
that I'm not deploying the application correctly?

Thanks in advance for your help,

Newman

I've seen this when an exception was thrown from the code that does it.

Ditto.

It seems to work fine here.

I've had the same experience. My conclusion was that it is only useful for
limited functionality. I've been using it ok to update the fragment showing
the link pointing to the current state, and only restoring that state on
start up. I've found anything else to be unreliable.

Good luck!

[flexcoders] Deep Linking Problems

[Brad Keck]

Hello,

I am just having a slew of problems with Deep Linking in Flex 3.0.  
The documentation makes it seem so simple, but nothing seems to work 
as expected.  I've experienced:

-The example code from the documentation not working
-Vastly different behavior between browsers
-URLs failing to update with setFragment()
-The back button not changing the URL after a setFragment()
-The forward button not being enabled after a successful back button
-A myriad of other inconsistencies

So, basically, I'm just wondering if anybody else has had good 
success with deep linking.  Is it simply a buggy feature of Flex at 
this point, or am I really an inept as I seem?  :)  Are there any 
particular "gotchas" about making this whole thing work that I may be 
missing?  (I have read already that things tend to work better when 
actually deployed on a server, as opposed to run from the IDE.  All 
of my problems are on a deployed app.)

Thank you very much.

-Brad
