I am looking for a flash application that is easy to use. I have Flash 8 but wanted something easy for simple fading banner images or smaller photos in and out. currently using Flash Nifties: <title>FlashNifties Flash Slideshow</title> <script type="text/javascript" src="flashdetect.js"></script> </head> <body> <div id="flashcontent"> <h1>Oops!</h1> <p>It looks like you don't have flash player 6 installed. <a href="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" >Click here</a> to go to Macromedia download page. </p> </div> <script type="text/javascript"> var so = new SWFObject("slideshow.swf", "gallery", "760", "200", "6", "#ffffff"); so.write("flashcontent"); </script> Code (markup): I understand that Google can read text in the swf file. OK, that is great,.. big question is I am using Flash to spice up the site a little but using this will remove the image I had with ALT text. is this a smart move for SEO..? would you just use an image rotator instead..? since it is javascript ( above) the spiders will just pass over it & forget the swf file, right..? if I used a normal flash file thru Flash 8 ( tough to grasp ); the following code is better to use..? <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="flashtest.swf" width="300" height="100"> <param name="movie" value="flashtest.swf" /> </object> I wish I could get a simple template for a fade in/out file with tweening. I have tried at least 10 versions and none work so I opted for these flash xml files. is there a flash xml program that will display like the one above..? thanks for any suggestions...my weakness is graphics.
Hi its news to me that google/spiders can read .swf file as far as I know they cant. Flash isnt great for seo but you can attached alt tags within them.You are best using flash as your application,fading and tweening are the most basic flash functions and going through a couple tutorials you will then beable to do it with your eyes closed.
