I guess I already knew the answer, but I was hoping there was a better one. To put it in terms of MVC, if a Flex app is the View and Controller to the server's Model, I guess you would need to develop a second View and Controller for the Flashless clients like Googlebot and even regular Flashless users. That is, you'd need to make some HTML pages that display this information to be indexed, even if it is ugly, vanilla HTML. I suppose if you wanted the traffic to go to your Flex or Flash app, you could use a bit of JavaScript on each page (that google would ignore) to detect for Flash, then use location.replace to move the visitor to the appropriate place in your Flex or Flash app. I'd love to see a standard model for this kind of thing, and would be willing to help build a library or set of tools to accomplish it. It'd go nicely with unFocus.History (and would be quite useful for some upcoming projects I'll be working on soon ;-) ). Anyone have any info to share, or have any time to spend on this kind of project (even if all it really is is a collection of ideas and suggestions for how to accomplish this)? :-) Kevin N. -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com Yahoo!
