- ironeus, on 08/01/2008, -1/+19very cool news for flash developers!
- tama00, on 07/02/2008, -2/+13Tomorrow on digg:
Microsoft announces silverlight applications to be better searched in microsofts live.com search engine.
You and me both know its gonna happen... - inactive, on 07/01/2008, -1/+9That will definitely make for more problems with the content suppression software and the government censors.
- Tralobyte, on 07/02/2008, -0/+8I think there's another very big company interested in search not in on this deal.
- bitcloud, on 07/02/2008, -2/+9"Great news" and "Flash" in the same sentence...
Flash has gone open source??!!? (like the should have in the first place, so we wouldn't have this problem in the first place)
oh well.. one can dream - Vich, on 07/02/2008, -1/+8I love how quickly diggers started bashing microsoft despite them having nothing to do with this story...
- rYno, on 07/02/2008, -0/+4yup, I still don't like flash for anything other than little non-content related animations or stuff like that. Already posted about this on my blog this morning. Good news for search tho
- cadmiumpaint, on 07/02/2008, -1/+5silverlight is still around? do people use it?
- malack203, on 07/02/2008, -0/+4I think he was referring to the fact that you can't right click inside a flash movie since it just brings up flash's drop down menu.
- bitcloud, on 07/02/2008, -0/+3wait.. unless google is......
*dun dun daaaaaaan!* - zohaibusman, on 07/02/2008, -1/+4the team is very strong. its a new strong challenge for silver light.
Microsoft must be thinking something i am sure - supermose, on 07/02/2008, -0/+3This is good! But in some ways it was already available if you used XML in text fields, and used XSLT with php to create HTML. Voila - readable flash content.
But this will definitely make it easier for those cool flash sites (such as all the ones in the Webby awards) to be indexed. - gibbouswolf, on 07/02/2008, -0/+3This is actually an extremely important story for the tech industry and yet I'm surprised that more people have yet to catch on to it. The official press release from Adobe can be found here.
http://www.adobe.com/aboutadobe/pressroom/pressrel ...
This technology is not only critical for developers of sites but for those marketing such sites.
I guess the rules in SEO are about to change. - joe90210, on 07/02/2008, -1/+4silverlight is just text, you don't need MS to give you permission and instructions on how to index it like adobe is doing
- woofers07, on 07/02/2008, -1/+3Well you better get used to Flash as long as there are web designers, I can assure you that ActionScript is going to continue to develop in working with the client side of sites, it already made a large leap from 2.0 to 3.0.
- SitPoMk, on 07/02/2008, -0/+2It's going to be a pain rewriting all of those SEO books
- inactive, on 07/02/2008, -0/+2*plays flash games on pcpimter's ass*
- RyeBrye, on 07/02/2008, -0/+1Probably because it parses a file, not watches a swf.
- moo2u2, on 07/02/2008, -0/+1yep, but all the authors are probably cheering
revision 2.0 = more $$ - c3chris, on 07/02/2008, -1/+2
Hmm, I would guess it's only gonna be the new Flash compiled that'll support this, with people choosing what inside their Flash gets indexed. Otherwise wouldn't they be writing a decompiler-of-sorts for existing Flash content? (... and how is that possible if the text is converted to nothing more then vector graphics? Frame-by-frame OCR??)
Scratching my head about what'll make this possible. Sounds cool. Hoping to start a thread with this one. =) - RyeBrye, on 07/02/2008, -0/+1XSLT by itself is slow. Combined with PHP, I can't even imagine how slow it would be.
- darkciti2, on 07/02/2008, -1/+2s/diggers/general populous/
That means, diggers aren't a society and the people that read these headlines are as vast and varied as any other blog site. - revisedTORIN, on 07/02/2008, -0/+1This is exactly why adobe, google and to a lesser extent yahoo are worth so ridiculously much
- hapax, on 07/02/2008, -1/+2Let me know when it can index "rick roll".
- adasha, on 07/02/2008, -0/+1You can already define right-click menus in Flash. And use the scroll wheel. And lots of other stuff. Seriously, catch up Mr FUD.
- pcpimpster, on 07/03/2008, -0/+1actually, thats in my ass. haha
- Bemuzed, on 07/09/2008, -0/+1Many large corporations implement methods to expose their content when using flash, but this is a big win for the smaller sites and developers. -- cheers
- jepizacar, on 08/01/2008, -0/+1nice resource....

http://jeniya.info - gibbouswolf, on 07/03/2008, -0/+1Hhmmmm... Asking that is a bit of a bloated question.
But the simple answer:
I'm a designer and Illustrator for both web and print at the core.
However I'm contracted by larger companies to design and code sites
which are then placed on CMS systems, and if said clients of sites
needs SEO I am then brought in for consolation / sale purposes.
When the client has been enlightened, through visual presentations, on
the importance of SEO, I them implement said SEO / SEM strategies.
Wow... That makes t sound as if I make a crap load of money. Wish I did tho... - Dustmuffins, on 07/02/2008, -0/+1CRAB BATTLE!!!!
- darkciti2, on 07/02/2008, -5/+5I ***** HATE FLASH. It's not open, you can't interact with it from client side automation apps, etc.
Big Advert/Media is trying to shove FLASH down our throats so we can't parse the media stream or skip the ads/commercials.
***** Flash (and commercials). - darkciti2, on 07/02/2008, -1/+1Which one do you work for?
- NoMoreNinj4s, on 07/02/2008, -0/+0It wouldn't need to do anything as fancy as OCR. Text is usually displayed in Flash by adding TextField objects to the scene graph. The special Flash player mentioned in the article would just need to output the contents of these objects.
- YodaJones, on 07/02/2008, -2/+1You mean now we can Google the words in the bubbles on Joe Cartoon? Wow!
Buried for stupid. - joe90210, on 07/02/2008, -4/+3this is obviously a response to Silverlight which is already searchable and indexable since it's just XAML text instead of compiled like Flash.
- parax, on 07/02/2008, -2/+1I don't have any confidence in what Adobe is capable of doing. They've been aware of a number of bugs in the flash plugin for years. Transparency issues chief among them, and I'm supposed to believe that even though they can't fix transparency in half a decade, they can tackle the huge issue of indexed, searchable flash content.
- inactive, on 07/02/2008, -2/+1It's about time they are left out.
- dotgamez, on 07/02/2008, -2/+0looks great . start doing flash sites and get them at the top search engines
- woofers07, on 07/02/2008, -3/+1I'm going to assume you're making a crack at apple, which has NOTHING to do with adobe, google or yahoo.
- inactive, on 07/02/2008, -6/+3hell yeah, whats next? right clicking?
- pcpimpster, on 07/02/2008, -7/+3I just integrated this... into my ass
- BagginsBoy, on 07/02/2008, -5/+0How the hell would the bot know when it gets to a part of the flash display it's already seen?
This would make it way too easy to drive the robot in an infinite loop.
