I am still using SwishMax. Will this work on a site developed with Swish Max or is there aother way to get the browser back button working? It is one scene with several sprites.

In short, no.
You will need to upgrade to SWiSHMax2 to use this.
The upgrade to SM2 is well worth the money!

Could you possibly make a sample where SWFaddress.onChange is used to make it more dynamic?
I had a lot of trouble with making it work - and failed at the end
I have used this:

	SWFAddress.onChange = function ()
	{
		var myaddress = SWFAddress.getValue();
		if (myaddress == "")
		{
			SWFAddress.setValue("/home");
		}
		else if (myaddress == "/home")
		{
			content.loadMovie("home.swf");
		}
		else if (myaddress == "/news")
		{
			content.loadMovie("news.swf");
		}
		else if (myaddress == "/about")
		{
			content.loadMovie("about.swf");
		}
	}

Tried the tutorials wherever I was able to find them, but just couldn't make it work.

[FlawlessDog]

All the flash samples I am able to open(flash8-), all seem to be time-line based.
I don't think the SWFAddress.onChange function was made to work like that.
I think you'll need to set your loadMovie functions in the appropriate frames.

I can look into it further, but can not make any promises...
If you know of a sample/tutorial I am missing that does what you want,
please post a link(s) to it/them.

[Bojko]

I'm quite sure it's used similar to what I typed in my previous post otherwise SWFaddress wouldn't be that dynamic. Also PLUR uses SWFaddress.onChange in his guestbook. Hope he'll read this, wouldn't want to bother him over private messages.
I don't remember where I originally found this way of using SWFaddress but HERE and HERE you can see it being used like that.

[PLUR]

oops... please remove this post, thx

[PLUR]

SWFaddress.onChange works fine with dynamic data. Here is a sample of code from my old blog (as there'r some problems with domain address I had to close blog for a wile).

onFrame (1){
SWFAddress.onChange = function() {
		var value = SWFAddress.getValue();
		myvar = value;
		getData(myvar);
};
}
function getData(value:String){
	
	//value = "menu=Menu&sub=Submenu&page=1&article=10";	
	totalStuff = value.split("&");
	for (i in totalStuff){
		newvar = totalStuff[i].split("=");
		if (newvar[0].toLowerCase() == "menu"){
			curMenu = newvar[1];
		}else if (newvar[0].toLowerCase() == "sub"){
			curSubMenu = newvar[1];
		}else if (newvar[0].toLowerCase() == "page"){
			curPage = newvar[1];
		}else if (newvar[0].toLowerCase() == "article"){
			curArticle = newvar[1];
		}
	}
		....................
		....................
}

I hope that you will get a part of this script useful for you
Bthw, when the second blog will be finished, the previous one source files will be dropped for a public

[Bojko]

Ah, great!!! I'll try this first thing tomorrow after I get some sleep
Thanks PLUR!

[FlawlessDog]

Ok...
Not sure if this is what you wanted, but...
Is this what you wanted?

Yes sir, I believe this is it. Don't know how that didn't work for me before tho. Tried it a million of times.
And now I can script the buttons like:

on (release,releaseOutside){
	SWFAddress.setValue("/about/");
}

And it works!!!
Thank you.

EDIT:
I see, I've been using it onSelfEvent(Load) and both of you guys used it somewhere in a time line. Perhaps that's where the problem was.

[FlawlessDog]

Cool! Glad it worked out

When doing this, be sure you have all the forward slashes "/" in the page names.
That may have been a part of the trouble.

As to the onSelfEvent(Load)
that is the new way to write it in SM2
I admit, it takes a little bit to get used to
after writing onLoad() for all those years

[FranklinFerreira]

onSelfEvent(load) perhaps?

[FlawlessDog]

Ok...

I am working on a SEO version for SWiSHMax2.
I think I got it, based on work done by Rostislav Hristov
for the flash SEO version, here:
http://www.asual.com...ss/samples/seo/

http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thr...forum_id=630934

http://www.flawlessd.../SwishMax2_SEO/

I am not at all sure at this point, how to test this...
But still, it seems to work as well as the flash version,
aside from a couple little bugs.

[FlawlessDog]

Well, I got most of the bugs worked out, I think.

have a look here:
http://www.flawlessd.../SwishMax2_SEO/

SwishZone get's the first look at the SEO SWiSH site source files.

Enjoy!
