DeepLinking and Browser History with SWFADDRESS!

After a couple weeks of radio silence, I’m back today with a great new way to enable browser-history in your Flash websites!

Note that we also need to use the SWFObject Javascript library (info here)
The library and other examples for SWFADDRESS can be found here.

Click on the image for a demo!

Below you can see a few lines on how the buttons are initiated.

Also, as usual: feel free to download the complete code source here

Enjoy!

var BTNsInited:Boolean = false;

function initBTNs():void
	{
	red_btn.deepLink = '/'; // Red is also the default homepage here so we leave it blank
	red_btn.title_txt.text = "RED";
	red_btn.buttonMode = true;
	red_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btnClick);
	red_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, btnRollOver);
	red_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, btnRollOut);
		
	orange_btn.deepLink = '/orange/';
	orange_btn.title_txt.text = "ORANGE";
