I don't suppose anyone on the list has ever managed to include a flash
object in a crawl?
There's a number of sites I need to crawl which use flash for navigation
(and have HTML content. Go figure!).
I want to include embedded flash in my crawls.
Despite (apparently successfully) including the parse-swf plugin, embedded
flash does not seem to be retrieved. I’m assuming that the object tags are
not being parsed to find the .swf files.
Can anyone comment?
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.
