Don’t get it wrong… I am not leaving Flex, most of my current developments still rely on it and I am sure it will last for several more years.

Working with Flex for nearly two years. I am sure I have the right choice however sometimes Flex do makes me mad.

  • SWFLoader content can’t be unloaded completely. (How many times you try to replace a loader content but you notice the content music never gone away)
  • VideoDisplay component doesn’t play .flv correctly…
  • Not even those produced by Flash Video Encoder…
  • Non standard CSS
  • Math.floor (Math.random () * 4) + 6 (Oh my god… I just want More >

Flex FAQ #5: 點樣做 Full Screen Application

Flex application 有一個特點就係可以完全跳出 web browser o既框架 Adobe AIR 當然係其中一種做法~ 但係 Flash player 本身 support full screen mode 所以直接用 full screen mode 就比起 AIR 直接同快喇~!

要用 full screen mode 首先要改動 SWFObject 或者 Object tag 主要係加入 allowFullScreen 呢個 parameter 以 Flex Builder o既 HTML template 為例

SWFObject:

AC_FL_RunContent(
    "src", "${swf}",
    "width", "${width}",
    "height", "${height}",
    "align", "middle",
    "id", "${application}",
    "quality", "high",
    "bgcolor", More >

今日 Google o係 webmaster central blog 公布左佢地已經 improve 左 Flash content 既 indexing power 所有 version 既 Flash content o係唔需要改動既情況底下都可以得到更好既 indexing result

同一時間 Adobe 亦o係 Adobe Developer Center 發表左 SWF searchability FAQ 裡面除左有耳熟能詳既 marketing slogan 之外

The openly published SWF specification describes the file format used to deliver rich applications and interactive content via Adobe Flash Player, which is installed on more than 98 percent of Internet-connected computers

亦有提及到背後既原理 以及 Yahoo! 都會於稍後 update search engine

的確~ 咁多年以黎 Flash 都比人彈 SEO 每一次我幫人做 project analysis 既時候 第一句都係問 “application base” 定 “content base” 今次呢個 news 的確幾吸引~ 但係問題係唔係就咁就解決呢?!?! 我地係唔係唔再需要寫特登寫 XHTML version / XSL / 一大堆 supportive More >
