Any chance you could enlighten me on this? I've tried this: [Embed(source='assets/smilies/smilies.swf', symbol='TestSmiliey')] [Bindable] private var smiley:Class; var messageString:String = "<b>Tigger</b>:SMILEY1: \n and SMILEY2:"; TestSmiley is the linkage ID of the symbol.

An instance of the Helve Class is created on the first line. The class is generated automatically by Flash when the .swf is compiled. The author wrote: "In the pop window, click export for ActionScript and give it a class name." When you close the linkage dialog, Flash will tell you that it can't find the specified class, but it will kindly create it for you on compilation. The generated class is then embedded into the .swf, but unless you decompile it, you'll never see it... The class is *not* in the first line.

Your content on fleximagically-searchable.com is all newer than three weeks (obviously) and it seems unlikely that Google would index it using their old methods, but either that is what they've done, or the new method is not quite what it's made up to be.

]]> Comment on Flex SEO Contest; I’m running out of titles by polyGeek http://www.zedia.net/2008/flex-seo-contest-im-running-out-of-titles/#comment-2344 polyGeek Wed, 23 Jul 2008 15:55:32 +0000 http://www.zedia.net/2008/flex-seo-contest-im-running-out-of-titles/#comment-2344 I like the thoroughnesses of your experimentation. Try a host of different approaches and see what sticks. I think the first big question we need answered as regarding the embedding issue. I'm going to stick with SWFobject/address for now because I'm interested in seeing how my experiment turns out in a 'real world' test. If we can't use tools like this to manage our sites then we're kinda screwed. :-) Right now I'm just frustrated because the Google bot hasn't been back to my site since it's first pass - Aug. 13. I wish Google had a tool to let you index your own site just to see what it would look like in their results. I like the thoroughnesses of your experimentation.

As for the Visual Studio 2003 and 2005 thingy, I am sure it slowed the adoption rate of Silverlight a bit, but I don't think it is such a bad move, in the sense that you have to start somewhere and maybe this will boost the adoption rate of Visual Studio 2007 instead.
