good ideas: July 2008 Archives

Set up your sentry turrets, because google is coming for your flash content. Sure, it'll look fine after the initial pass. But just let it gestate a few days and the innards of your flash movie will be splayed all over the place. 

It really remains to be seen how this new development from The Company Google will affect us flash developers. In some ways, it could be bad -- imagine an instance where only some of the text is embedded but not necessary representational. Yeah, yeah, it'll index data calls as well, but still, you should probably stick to some good ol' SEO best practices for now... On the other hand, it probably spells relief for clients, which can only mean more work for flash devs everywhere... and disaster for Earth.
AS3 and Flash you'll lose your ink over.
