Flash: Back Button and Deep Links Topic

Tuesday, March 28th, 2006 by Luis

I know this is an old topic, but I feel like posting about it. Since a few months ago I tried to make flash websites a little bit more usable and functional taking advantage of some new Flash 8 features and going back to old topics such as the browser back button support and deep linking support.

So far we have tried to implement this features in the last two projects we have done for redbull with 95% success, as usual MAC and Safari still very problematic.

Today I found this article in Jens Franke’s blog where he points to a good solution for the Back-Button Support which apparently works in Safari.

Robert Taylor, creator of FlashExtensions.com has set up a small Open Source library of resources regarding Flash and its capabilities such as Drag n’ Drop Selected Text , Detect Line Number and Position of TextField or a set of algorithms to display the right color of text for the right background.

Flash: Anti-alias for readability + justify

Monday, March 27th, 2006 by Luis

Last month during the development of the new Redbull Formula 1 site, we found a big number of unexpected behaviors when using some of the new Flash 8 features such as the texfield advanced anti-aliasing mode.

When setting the align property of a textfield to "justify", the advanced antialising-mode is ignored completely. I don't really know if this is a bug or there is an explanation for it.

[UPDATED] It seems to work fine with Flash 8.5 player.
