[osflash] Deeplinking

[Chi Kin lam]

Hi, Panos,

I guess deeplink has a down side when you are generating scripts  
(menu, content) from xml, or from external source (swf, img or so). As  
you can see swfAddress only work on scene (Frame label / no), unless  
all contents are preset on one fla like http://www.asual.com/ 
swfaddress/ did (see image),



Otherwise, it is kind of impossible to deeplink from xml generated  
content (code generated content in one frame) like this:

for (var i:int = 0; i<=xml.length(); i++) {
	makeMenu();
}

Or, someone have already cracked this? My thinking is that when you  
are using swfAddress, somehow you can go round with the function of:


function formatTitle(title) {
	return 'SWFAddress Website' + (title != '/' ? ' / ' +  
toTitleCase(replace(title.substr(1, title.length - 2), '/', ' / ')) :  
'');
}

each time when you click on a button, you somehow can return a string  
with the exact file link and the targeted movieclip for the swfAddress  
as to load (I am also thinking array may be also useful). While it is  
just a though, so, anyone?

Interesting task, will see if I am hardcore for this!!
