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]

View 1 RepliesI'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))};

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 have an array name region it has a couple of properties. "code", "name", "value"
I want to store this array in an indexed object called regions.
I would then like to access the object by referring to its sub property name

Can someone outline the variable definition and construct so I can access this information. Happy to replace the index field with the code value.

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:

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.

View 3 RepliesSo 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 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.
[Code]...
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.
