SWFAddress provides deep linking for Flash…sounded great until I downloaded it and couldn’t make any sense of it. Poor documentation. I messed around with it for a day, couldn’t figure it out and set it aside. Eventually I would have to figure it out for a site I am doing at work…I e-mailed two crazy flash guys who said it wasn’t something they could explain in ten minutes or less, so basically good luck, go learn some javascript…

I came across two sites that show how to use SWFAddress on the simplest level and finally figured it out. Liam R gives a great example with all the source files. Thanks Liam. Here is another example, but only the .fla file. Between those two it should be much easier to figure out! Good luck.

SWFFit is also a great script that works with SWFObject 2.0 to resize your flash movie so it always fits in the browser, although I couldn’t get it to work with the SWFAddress. Enough of the code nerd stuff for the day…yay for Fridays!
