[SWFObject] SWFAddress and Flex 2

[Geoff Stearns]

awesome... i have been working on my own version, but i hit some  
issues with it, and was talking to kevin newman (the guy who wrote  
the unfocus history keeper version) to try and get him to update it  
to add a couple of features I wanted.

it looks like you nailed all the features, though... page title, link  
+ back button that is.

it would be cool to make it work (at least partially) in safari...  
kevin came up with a way of checking the history.length to see when  
the user navigates in safari, so maybe you could work some of that in?

another thing to consider, is building SEO stuff into this... ideally  
the site would be fully indexable by google and also mobile devices  
that don't support flash or javascript as well... any plans on  
working on stuff in that area?
