A reason to develop flash websites ?

James — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 17:00:17 +0000

So Google learns to crawl flash today …

Of course my first thoughts were of flash the superhero with google crawling all over him. Why … God alone knows but I’ve been drinking red bull again today so thats probably why

You can read more on googles blogspot http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2008/06/google-learns-to-crawl-flash.html

If you look through the dev section on Adobe as well you can find the newly ? released spec.

Now this doesn’t mention how useful being able to index a flash site will be. Sure it’ll find links to other pages but a lot of the sites I’ve seen are complete flash sites ? I guess this does open up a world of possibilities for those wanting to do shiny things with their menus.

Will these menus be accessible ? will CTRL+ work for the visually impared … will screen readers be able to read the menus hmm.. not so sure about that just yet but maybe with time we’ll see some interesting changes to websites ?

edit: The specs are here for SWF file format

offline browsing of a website…

I’ve recently done up a mockup of a website and well for content I made use of some simple php functions to create lists and so on so that my code for forms wasn’t completely bloated …

Now there were about 15 or so pages and I don’t think your standard save page will copy it all that nicely for you … maybe I’m wrong …

Anyways enter the HTTrack … and offline browser … I’ve used various versions over the year though it would be about 2 – 3 years since I’ve used it.

Problem solved … apart from the forms which still wanted to go to the php pages for submission and quick multipage search replace and I was up and running … zip it up with my favorite zip tool 7 Zip and bob’s your uncle … or er your Teddy bear … depending
