Working on a revamp of a website, I decided to try out SWFAddress to make the back button work instead of a hand-rolled solution…
I managed to get this up and running really quickly, which was nice, but then I spent 2 hours working out why it no longer worked when I integrated the SWFAddress into the site…
The Flash bit worked okay - change something and the address bar got updated, but the back button never worked - or did not send any events back to Flash.
2 Hours later, after stripping my code back, I found the problem:
If you are using SWFObject, the javascript for this needs to be included before the SWFAddress javascript. Doh!
Apart from that small hiccup, it’s nice and fairly simple to use…
