I can ;) You will need to add some code to DOMContentUtils. Currently it skips <object> and <embed> tags, so that outlinks leading to the Flash content are never collected. Instead, when the code encounters an <object> tag it should descend into <param> children, pick the one with <param name="src" value="myFlash.swf">, extract the value and make a new Outlink. -- Best regards, Andrzej Bialecki <>< ___. ___ ___ ___ _ _ __________________________________ [__ || __|__/|__||\/| Information Retrieval, Semantic Web ___|||__|| \| || | Embedded Unix, System Integration http://www.sigram.com Contact: info at sigram dot com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
