Hi Rostislav,

I’d love to hear your thoughts once you’ve had a chance to look at the code. Looking forward to your involvement. :)

If it’s just usability then the redirection from /regular-link to /#/deep-link doesn’t help much. It’s 2 symbols less but overall brings the same functionality. On the other hand it can be indexed compared to the anchor version.

For some reason only after the redirect I get a SWFAddress JS error in IE7. I should download the GAE SDK and try it locally when I find some time available.

Hey Rostislav,

Thanks for the kind words. I just released the Flex version of the sample.

About the deep linking: my focus is not SEO but usability but I’d love to hear your thoughts. Were you suggesting something along the lines of the approach in the SEO samples in SWFAddress?

(Oh, and great work on SWFAddress, by the way. Very, very, important!) :)

Hey Aral,

you’re pretty quick with one and it looks like a good reason to try the GAE offering.

The deep linking redirection should be done differently if you’re looking into search engine indexing. I’ll be glad to help you on this.

Cheers,
Rostislav
