<body>Greetings,<BR>
<BR>
I recently discovered that the static text fields I placed in my .swf were being read by search engines. (even text that I used as masks).<BR>
I asked someone better versed in Flash than myself why this was happening so that I could continue doing it for SEO.<BR>
They guessed that it might be the tags in my html, which I was publishing straight from Flash while changing a few lines.<BR>
<BR>
I've since migrated to the SWFObject method. Knowing little about .html (and far less about .<FONT><FONT>js) I'm unsure as to where I might place these tags, since the <body> tags that they used to follow now contain the "Flash Version" alert and the movie reffered to is now loaded by the .js file.</FONT></FONT><BR>
these are the lines (I am assuming) I'd like to keep;<BR>
<BR>
<!--url's used in the movie--><BR><!--text used in the movie--><BR>
<BR>
Am I still able to use them in the html body or should they somehow be placed in the .js?<BR>
<BR>
here is the page <A href="http://www.keylo.us/home/home.swf">http://www.keylo.us/home/home.swf</A><BR>
I discovered the text issue by googling the link I had placed, "WholeNewSpin"<BR>
It is usually the 3rd link, "<SPAN class=w><FONT color=#0000cc size=-2><B>[FLASH]</B></FONT></SPAN> <A class=l onmousedown="return clk(this.href,'','','res','3','')" href="http://www.keylo.us/home/home.swf"><U><FONT color=#551a8b>Laidman Fabrication... </FONT></U></A>"<BR>
The static text that appears is "MUSIC MUSIC MUSIC MUSIC turn it up.." There are only 2 instances of the word "music" on the stage, one a mask (as mentioned), so I'm not sure why it shows up 4 times. You can see it by rolling over the left side of the train (spinning arrows).<BR>
<BR>
some wacky side notes..<BR>
1. I don't use the SWFObject on this page and there is no "Click to use.." issue.<BR>
2. the source can't be viewed from my IE, is garbled in Netscape/<FONT>firefox on PC</FONT> but I can view it from Safari/Mac.<BR>
3. the page is loading with the .swf extension in the address.<BR>
<BR>
Again, I'm not well versed in html and <FONT>js,</FONT> (relatively new to Actionscript), so your feedback is appreciated.<BR>
<BR>
Thanks,<BR>
<FONT>Key.</FONT><BR>
