Flash SEO / Ability For Be Indexed By Google And Yahoo
Nov 19, 2009
I need some brilliant Flash experts to weight in on an article we wrote at the advertising agency I work for. We put an article together about the ability for Flash to be indexed by Google and Yahoo. It's a two sided debate between Search Engine Optimization (SEO) guys and Flash guys. SEO is killing Flash right now in the debate.[URL]
I have made an web site and I put it on the ftp address on the web. The site is full flash. My question is how can I make it visible on google search, or yahoo? Is there a piece of code that I have to insert on the html file that wraps the flash swf?
I'm currently working on a Flash website project that uses Yahoo messenger.Can we put a Yahoo Messenger on a Flash Website?If just like a HTML website i know it can, but i don't know if we can use the YM like chat with me in a flash website..
In the past week it appears that Yahoo has changed their crossdomain file to only accept Yahoo domains [URL]This is causing my applications that use Yahoo Maps to stop working (i.e. security exception). I cannot proxy the calls to Yahoo because the URL is embedded in the MXP file that Yahoo distributes.
I've been trying to build some GUI for a level editor using Yahoo's ASTRA Flash Components using the FlashDevelop IDE. After finally including all the "Global Classpaths", I managed to almost get it to compile apart from one Warning that causes the build to fail. Code: C:UsersJoshDesktopFruitBoxsrccomyahooastraflcontrolsMenu.as(720): col: 31 Warning: return value for function 'anonymous' has no type declaration. This is apparently where the warning is triggered:
PHP Code: // Activate the menu //this.setFocus(); setFocus(); //set a timeout to fix an issue with accessibility events var func:Function = function(){ dispatchEvent(new Event(Event.CHANGE))}; [Code] ......
how to call a feed from yahoo pipes into flash? here is the rss feed that yahoo says to reference to obtain the xml: [URL] whenever i try to call that, as if calling any other xml file, flash says the file cannot be opened.
I am trying to make a flash widget using yahoo weather API. Since it uses RSS I thought it was simples but I am stuck. I just don't know how to extract info inside this xml line: <yweather:units temperature="C" distance="km" pressure="mb" speed="kph"/>
My complete code is: var location_id:String='POXX0022'; var grades:String='c'; var url:String="[URL]"+location_id+"&u="+grades; var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(); var xmlData:XML = new XML(); [Code] ......
I'm trying to use the Astra library from Yahoo but I'm getting an error saying the base class BaseScrollPane is not found. It appears to be imported from fl.containers.BaseScrollPane, which leads me to believe it should be a part of the base flash 10 library and therefore should be available, but it appears to be missing. Is this part of a separate package from somewhere?
Update: For what it's worth, I found the actual class files in the Configuration/Component Source folder on my hard drive, but adding that to the class path (as well as the Components directory) did no good. I ended up fixing the issue by dragging a scroll pane component to the stage from the Components window and then deleting it, but I'm not sure what exactly that action changed that made it work, and would like to know for future reference.
So yahoo astra has grate compohent for saving inputed data. They show examples of how to use it. But I had not found one capable to solve my current problem. For example user inputed his name. It is saved, but when he comes again he always needs to input at least first latter of his name. so I wonder - how to make Yahoo astra autocompletemanager component to pop up last inputed into it value on application creation complete?
I am looking for some decent tutorial that will explain the correlation between flash and flex (how can I use flex's coding ability with flash's design interface).
I have a service that uses computer webcam via Flash. Now I'd like to develop an Android optimized version of the service using HTML5 + Flash and then use some HTML5 wrapper to get an app.
I wonder if it's possible to use the same ability of Flash that provides an access to user's phone camera (frontal) on the Android (tablet pcs, smart phones). I know Android supports Flash since 2.2, but I failed to find any information on hardware access.
I have problems defining indexed array with actionscript. The task is following. I have a board of point objects. I need to store them into one array, so I can access each point using simply it x,y coordinates. for example to get point one I want to be able use points[1][1], etc. I read the doc here [URL], and realized that I don't understand how to initialize array for my needs. (Especially when it can contain from 10 to 15 rows and columns, so it will be quite hard to use following notation: masterTaskList[0] = ["wash dishes", "take out trash"];, as suggested in docs.) What I am doing is:
I'm having fun with dates in flex, and had a strange bug showing up. It turned out to be not-really-a-bug, but a somewhat strange way of the way Flex works with dates. Namely,
[CODE]....
What's up with that? Is there some good reason not all fields are treated the same way? I kinda guess there is, but was unable to find the 'why' part.
I wanted to put a search box in my flex app that would act just like google or google finance: you start typing and a drop down list just below starts filtering the results dynamically. Does anyone know how to do this in flex? I am using flex and php so as the user types it will pull results off the server dynamically.
i have 2 sprites on stage. bottomSprite is added to the display list first, followed by topSprite. topSprite partially covers bottomSprite.i've added an event listener to bottomSprite for MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVED notifications to simply trace the mouseX and mouseY coordinates. however, the notification doesn't work for the parts of bottomSprite that are covered by topSprite.
var bottomSprite:Sprite = new Sprite(); bottomSprite.graphics.beginFill(0x666666, 0.5); bottomSprite.graphics.drawRect(150,150, 150, 150); bottomSprite.graphics.endFill();
So I read through Kirupa's XML/Flash thumbnail gallery tutorial and have since modified some of its actionscripting to display my online design portfolio. How do I make it so that 'LAUNCH PROJECT' is a link? Here is the modified Actionscripting (I have one of each for the 3 sections):
Code: function loadXML(loaded) { if (loaded) { xmlNode = this.firstChild;[code]....
As you can see at the bottom of the actionscript, I added a gotoURL action, hoping that simply by making <launch> read <launch action="gotoURL" variables="http:url...> that it would become a link. I, however, have had no such luck. Perhaps I have to add something more. How do I make it so that <launch></launch> has the ability to link to an URL?
I'm able to format and display the text within my swf, however once its uploaded to the internet - the text either won't show up, or the flash player shows a security error "flash player is trying to communicate withI've tried to feed the data through to my own domain, but I'm not sure how to program for it. I've found php examples online, but I'm not sure how to implement them either. I need the stock quote price to display and update either once a day, or only when the swf loads. Currently I'm using the following code to retrieve the data (within flash):
fl_TextLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(); var fl_TextURLRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://finance.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?s=SNA.V&f=l1sd1");
I am changing over one of my projects from google maps to yahoo maps and was wondering who out there has experience with the yahoo maps api. Below you will see the code i was using with the google maps api to create custom markers using a library item as that marker. The library asset has some variables that need to be defined as you will see in the first part of my for loop. and this function needs to clear all the previously created overlays, before the for loop is run.
My problem occurrs when I change the yahoo written example: [AS] import com.yahoo.maps.tools.PanTool; import com.yahoo.maps.markers.CustomPOIMarker; myMap.addEventListener("initialize", onInitMap); function onInitMap(event:Object):Void { var panToolanTool = new PanTool(); [Code] ..... Ive taken out the EventListener as it never picked up onInitMap() and displayed the map without it, maybe this is where the problem is? It even recognises the text if you put lots of text into the description, as in it make the bubble alot wider but just doesn't show the actual text.
