The techniques I've seen offer standard bookmarkable URLs, displayed in the browser address bar, which when used in a browser take one to the current 'page' in the Flash app. Obviously, navigating to these URLS via browser back, forward and history buttons also work. So -- how are these "lesser versions"? (Before anyone mentions Ajax in this context, it's still easier to find Flash devs than talented Ajax jockeys up here in Baja Canada.) Admittedly, more work for the Flash devs, but we should be designing for the public, not the dev staff. Also, I'm now starting to see this functionality abstracted out into relatively simple frameworks. -Will Will Parker [EMAIL PROTECTED] ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
