Deep linking for Flex

Adobe Admin — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 18:27:57 +0000

It’s a developer tool, allowing creation of unique virtual URLs that can point to a website section or an application state. SWFAddress enables a number of important capabilities which are missing in today’s rich web technologies including:

Bookmarking in a browser or social website
Sending links via email or instant messenger
Finding specific content with the major search engines
Utilizing browser history and reload buttons
