Flex2 and SEO help

Hi
I'm rather new to Flex2 and I had a general question about
search engine words like what you'd find within the meta tags of a
static HTML page. Seeing is it that the output is a giant .swf file
for clients, how does one address the issue of their site being
available for search engines, or is it even possible?
Thanks

First I want to say Shame on you Adobe for not addressing
this subject outright.
I am a java gone flash some 5 years ago and now am making the
switch to flex/flash.
What I say now is only what data I have been able to collect
the past two weeks on this subject and should only be used as a
reference.
If you build an entire website out of flash a search engine
cannot crawl a .swf file. Are there ways around it, yes there are.
http://labs.blitzagency.com/?p=171
but the time and effort is tremendous for a small team or one
person.
Flex does answer the back button issue with historyManager
class. but to fully exploit it you need to program a bit more
depending on how complicated a site you build.
From what I gather you are building a site entirley in flash
which is OK but you need to grow beyond this to whats known as a
MVC architecture which basically means separate out your content
from your view and store it either in flat files or in a database.
This opens up the opportunity to point the search engines to
this data.
see
http://www.onflex.org/ted/2007/08/flex-directory-seo-and-flex.php
http://blog.deconcept.com/2006/03/13/modern-approach-flash-seo/
This is a complicated subject and one not taken on lightly.
Is it possible, absolutely. However you need to think before
you build. separate out your content. point the incoming requests
to what there looking for...read and understand the mvc
architecture. If you have worked in flex you already know that in
the eclipse environment you are producing mxml documents.
perhaps these will be indexable as well??
im still working on the problem myself and am curious where
this goes.
Hope this helps

Flex 3 and SEO HELP

Can anyone help me if Flex 3 can be seen by search engines. I have a pure Flex 3, database generated web site and have tested many options with no search engine results found. I tried hidden text and found search engine results very quickly before I discovered that this technique was a search engine no no. I am looking for valid way design my Flex and test the search engine to verify results before I build duplicate html pages. Please help.....

I think Tracy is correct. You need to declare the amazon namespace:
namespace amazon = "http://webservices.amazon.com/AWSECommerceService/2007-07-16";
and then use it when parsing your xml:
event.result..amazon::Item

Hi,
I am building a Flex web application to host tutorials on how to build accessible and SEO friendly RIAs (http://www.accessiblerichinternetapplication.com/)

Angela's ARIA

Hi Angela,
First up and foremost I would like to commend you to your great effort in setting up this site !!! and especially with such controversial subject like SEO.
I have been reading through some of it, but not quiet all as yet and I find it extremely interesting, but at first glance I did not see anything in regards to using Flex compiler SEO ??? and / or Html SEO ?
Now I would be very interested to find out a little more in detail what you are looking for here:
**** Can anyone suggest automated accessibility / seo testing tools that I can use to validate my website? *****
My personal answer to your question above and as it stand is YES & NO !
Yes because I do have an Application which could maybe suite your idea of SEO in one way or the other. It is operating on different web sites at the moment covering five (5) continents with around 190 feedback channels using six (6) different movements, but Analyzing is just a part of that what it was developed to do.
The App. has been tested every day for several times since early Dec. 2010 and has proven extremely responsive and effective to each of the web sites SEOs it is used with, but as said before I need to know a little more to see if this really could be of any help to you !

Software update and iLife help not working in Admin account

For the last few weeks (maybe since iLife 11 was installed) software update and iLife help has quit working on the single administration account on my iMac. All works fine on the secondary accounts.
If I try to use software update it says everything is up to date, even though I know there are updates available that can be seen if checking from a different account on the machine. In iLife, if I try to access the help files it tells me I need to download them. I click to download and after a few seconds it takes me back to the front help page and I then go through the entire process again but the help download never happens. On secondary accounts the help files work no problem.
I've tried many of the tips for deleting helpfile plists, but nothing seems to work for me.
Can any kind person list for me everything I should look to delete or move in the account to get these things working again?
It would be much appreciated!

Since the issue is specific to your original user account, you can proceed in two ways. One is to log into your new account, make a list of the preference files (plists) located in /username/Library/Preferences/, including any in the ByHost subfolder, log back into the original account, move everything on that other account's list from the original account's Preferences folder into a newly created folder on the Desktop, log out and back in, and see if the problem goes away. If so, you can copy the ones in the Desktop folder (one at time) back into /Preferences/, restart, and see if the problem returns. If so, you've identified the corrupt/conflicting one. Continue with all of them until isolating the bad ones. That'll save you the trouble of resetting preferences.
The second way is much more detailed and I'll not burden you with the steps unless the above doesn't fix the issue.

A follow up question to Introducing Apple Recommends, Manage Subscriptions, and This Helped Me

In Introducing Apple Recommends, Manage Subscriptions, and This Helped Me it was written
Now anyone can click "This helped me" to say thanks to helpful members. When several people mark the same post, it will earn a gold star and appear at the top of the discussion, so it’s easier for others to find. The poster will also earn five reputation points for a job well done.
Does anyone know (or is it written anywhere) just how many is 'serveral'? Is it decided on the fly? Or does it depend on the phase of the moon?
Will the points be awarded to the poster only once, or if say 100 people mark it as helpful will more then 5 points be awarded?
Sounds like a really good system but it seems that a bit more thought should have gone into it, no? Or at least the explanation could be clearer.
Ciao.
(Another question) Can the original post (this one) get marked as helpful also? Imagine earning points for posting :-)

Howdy GeoCo et al
I sort of agree with this new "Helpie-ette" deal. I wonder why while at this portion of the UX they didn't address the ongoing issue of the "irrevocable nature " of the OP awards of the traditional Green Stamp and Gold Star - I have made the mistake (once) but I see the silliest things marked Solved frequently. THAT is bad for business in that it gives false visual info and false statistical results.
We'll see... BTW, the [People] TAB itself is the only new thing (the CONTROL in the TAB bar) - the URL has always been alive and well if one knew to add " /people "

Hi All,
I am so angry frustrated and fed up with BT its not real and after a month of useless customer service people in every country in the world I have decided to get ofcom involved as BT just dont care at all.
I have been a customer for BT for about 7 years and always paid my bills ontime and have many time in the past recommended BT (Not anymore) alot not only to friend but also to businesses.
After a messy split with my partner i had to move from my property so on the 6th of January i called BT's moving team and got the process moving to move all my services (phone, broadband & bt vision) the guy was really helpful and said that the old phone and services would be disconnected on the 17th Jan and broadband the same day, he then went on to say that an engineer would have to come to my property on the 21st to check that the bt vision would work correctly as there was low bandwith where i lived but thought it would be ok.
So i thought great all done but on the 17th nothing happened at the new property i call CS and the lady did try to help and after talking to the old line user said a mistake had happed with a cancellation and they would sort it all out by the 19th so dont worry. 19th comes nothing so another call to CS they could not work it out so put me through to a guy in the UK who could not have been more unhelpful if he tried. He said that the engineer had reported a problem but i would have to wait. At this point i thought i would complain as i had not had any comms from BT at all i had to do all the calling even though they say on the website if the date are moved they will contact you.
i tried the only complaint messaging service this time. The guy tried to be helpful but then informed me that my order was cancelled? Why i asked he said he did not know but would have to call me back. Well he did call back the next day and still had no idea what had happened and i have now not heard a thing from him since last thursday.
On Monday i logged into my account and now it shows i wont get any connections until the 7th of feb so i called and said its a joke and whats going on. The guy said what do you expect you only placed the order yesterday? I asked what? and then looked at the only account and true enough the order date had changed to the 23rd and they could not see the previous order even though the order number had not changed. Its a disgrace as i think you will find the moving team dont work sundays so i know someone has changed that so it did not look so bad. The person said he would escalate the connection (I bet he did not as naff all has happened). He said he would get his manager who i have to say i dont think was i just think he passed me to his mate to try and get me off the line. He said they would get it sorted and come back to me with 24hrs and guess what Nothing.
So if you are a good customer and pay ontime this is what BT really thinks of you and will help you if things go wrong. I have got a complaint reference now and will be keeping a diary of events in order to contact Ofcom when it is all sorted and to post on onther forum the outcome and how i was dealt with.
Kinga

Well the useless system has done yet another update and useful as usual it now says my connection date for BT Vision is 26th Jan (2 days ago) but the phone and broadband will be 7th of Feb so that will be a full month since i placed the order and still nothing from anyone at BT.
Nothing about the original engineer visit or anything so this is going to roll on and on and the so called escalation, well they may as well said what can we say to you to get you off the line as i bet there is no such thing as escalition at all as so far all its done is push these so called dates further and further away.
Oh and here is a another nugget of so called customer service for you is you ask about compensation for all the calls, hassle and stress they say you cant have a thing as it says it in the terms & conditions. Oh well in that case why call you team customer services if you cant really stand the customers and cant admit when you make a massive mistake causing untold hardship to the customer that you would like to make up for it in someway.

IOS 8 - Disentangling Camera Roll and Photostream - help!

In iOS 8, Apple removed the “Camera Roll” and “Photostream” albums and collapsed them into a single stream of photos on the camera that can be accessed under “Collections”. “Collections” also includes all other photos otherwise loaded onto the phone, e.g., via iPhoto. This new arrangement upsets several familiar ways in which I’ve been using my iPhone and its camera, and I am wondering if anyone has any suggestions for how to recapture a few simple functions. (I have submitted Feedback on the elimination of the Camera Roll, and with this post I am looking for practical solutions to a series of new problems.)
Question #1. I maintained my Camera Roll as a reasonably-well curated set of maybe 300 photos & videos, taken on my phone, that I could pull up easily to show to people. I would like to know if there is a way to restore that functionality in iOS 8. “Recently added” does not go back far enough (one of my favorites was the very first photo I took with any iPhone, back in 2007); and “Collections” shows way too much – it includes everything in Photostream, as well as photos from Albums of scans, non-iPhone photos and other sources that I’ve synced to the phone with iPhoto. Thousands of photos. I also don’t care for the way in which Collections interrupts the thumbnails with date and location information.
Question #2. I kept Photostream turned on on my phone, because I liked the idea of automatically uploading photos to the cloud, particularly on trips when I was not in a position to download the photos directly to a computer for backup and safekeeping. However, now that Apple has eliminated the distinction between “photos in my pocket” and “photos in the cloud”, it appears that whenever I want to delete a photo from my phone (e.g. to save space) I must also delete the corresponding Photostream copy. Is there a way, with Photostream on, to delete local photos without also deleting the copy that has been uploaded to the cloud?
Question #3. I have a few old iOS devices that I let my kids use. They like to take photos and screenshots. Most of them are pretty stupid but once in a while they do something great. I’ve left Photostream on on those devices to see what they’re up to, and to capture the occasional gem. This was fine, when “Photostream” was a separate Album that I could look at, or not, as I chose. In iOS 8 however, all of their junk photos appear in “Collections” and are as much a part of my phone’s photo repository as the carefully-curated Camera Roll photos used to be. Is there a way to keep Photostream photos out of my “Collection”?
Question #4. I suppose someone could write an app that does nothing but display photos that were captured by, and reside physically, on the device. Perhaps someone already has, if anyone knows. Of course I’d prefer to use the native app for this function, but I’d take the function over nativity if I had to choose.
Question #5. Does anyone know (“know” – please no speculation, and nothing that an NDA forbids) how the iCloud Photo Library, which dropped back to beta in the final release of iOS 8, works? Does it provide the backup and safekeeping function of Photostream, along with the ability to view that set of photos separately? If so then I could turn off Photostream and at least get rid of that clutter.
Thanks for any and all help. And by way of reminder - https://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html .

Here's one, eh, kludgy fix for Question #1. I don't exactly recommend it - it can be pretty laborious - but in the end it seems to get me back to about where I started with my Camera Roll.
Go into "Collections" and scroll back to about the date at which you expect to find your first native iPhone photo. (I have many imported photos that predate iPhone, so I can't just look at the first ones.) Tap through until you are looking at a single photo. Look at the bottom. If it displays a "Favorites" heart, it's physically on your iPhone (and as best I can tell, was taken by the device). Tag it as a favorite. Swipe to the next photo. Skip if it shows no Favorites heart - that means it's not on your phone - and tag it if it does.
At the end of this process (did I mention it's laborious?), you should have a Favorites album that matches the photos that were on your Camera Roll when you upgraded to iOS 8.

PE 9 and 10 Help PDF Invalid List View Descriptions

Bottom line: Has anyone reported on these problems, and, if so, what is being done about them?
Until proven otherwise, I believe that Premiere Elements 9 and 10 Help PDF requires editing of its List View Descriptions which are appropriate for at least version 8.0/8.0.1, 7, and 4, but not versions 9.0/9.0.1 and 10. Please refer to the Help PDF Projects/View Clip Properties
for version 10:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/premiere...B-312BB3F13B11
for version 9:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Premiere...355c-7f98.html
Problems in this regard for Premiere Elements later than version 8.0/8.0.1 and not for versions 8.0/8.0.1, 7, and 4:
1. List View Properties display in text for export video file, no Data Rate Analysis graphs
2. List View Columns, no ADD to add your own columns, so only Adobe built in ones, and none of the Adobe built in ones, like Client, allow for editable text.
Comments:
Data Rate Analysis
I had read somewhere that these graphs appear for tape based rather than non tape based imports. Mini test: Premiere Elements MPEG4.avi import and DV AVI export of the MPEG4.avi. Results: Version 8.0/8.0.1 Properties for import in text format (file properties) only and Properties for export in text format (file + export properties) as well as display of Data Rate Analysis graph. Versions 9 and 10 Properties for import (file properties) and for export (file + export properties), both import and export text only.
List View Columns
1. If I look at the project.prel WordPad documents and the Client Column information there in each, I do not see any difference.
2. If I create a Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1 project, set List View column choices Comments and Client, type in the comments and client information, and save/close/and re-open the project in:
a. Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1, the Comments columns and its information will not appear; the Client column will appear, but its information will not be editable. (The 9.0/9.0.1 version does have Client, but not Comments, as a built in choice under Edit Columns)....the latter might explain why no Comments column except...
b. Premiere Elements 10, neither the Comments nor Client columns and their information will appear. (The 10 version does have Client, but not Comments, as a built in choice under Edit Columns.)
One of the Potential Problems:
It is well accepted that, if you edit a project from an earlier version in a later version, you cannot go back to the earlier version for editing. So, one potential problem that I see in all this is the loss of this type of information on upgrading from 8.0/8.0.1 and earlier....
a. If you create a Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1 or earlier project which includes Comments and Client information in these List View Column choices, you will lose all that information in version 10 and have only non-editable Client information in version 9.
And, yes we have filed an Adobe Feature Request/Bug Form on this one.
Any comments about what I may have overlooked in trying to get those Help PDF List View Descriptions to work for me would be appreciated.
Thanks.

I definitely agree that the Help files could use some updating, Tony.

Windows XP Clean Install – What I discovered and the help I need

Windows XP Clean Install – What I discovered and the help I need
I previously had a problem with my Laptop dying randomly you can read about it in the thread entitled Computer dies Randomly (Battery also dead) click to view
Before I realised the solutions, I thought that maybe my Laptop had become infected with a Virus and decided it would be prudent to do a clean install of the Windows XP operating system.
Everything went perfectly and thought a clean install was a good opportunity to download the “XP Service Pack 3” SP3 and did so, it seemed very quiet though and that’s when I realised I had no sound…
I downloaded all of the sound drivers I could find on the Lenovo site for 3000 N100 (I knew from previous experience that the “SOUNDMAX” driver is the only one that actually works with this 3000 N100) in order to install this you have to install the Realtek HD audio driver, but in order to install that you have to install some other Driver/Soft that only works with SP1 or SP2 if you try to install it with SP3 it will say that you don’t need the file as your Service pack is newer than the file you want to install, this is understandable as SP3 is not final as of yet (but it’s good to know).
My next problem was that my extra RAM was not detected, this was fixed by updating the BIOS, after installing all of the System updates, PC Doctor, everything I could find for 3000 N100 I decided to rest, I pushed the Lenovo care button and it did not work, I found a hot key driver and installed it but still the Lenovo care button does not work, previously when I pushed this button it would bring up the Lenovo menu but now it’s just a dead button, Does anyone know how to get this button working again?
I am pretty sure that everything else is working fine now, just that button not working is very annoying, is there a set routing of installs you must do to get everything working, i.e. bios 1st audio 2nd system update 3rd etc...
Please help, I hope I have helped you...

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Ok first everything works now... except the Lenovo Care button, I just posted the other stuff cause it might help other members, I have searched the forum for an anwser to this problem but there was only one anwser (suggesting to uninstall the driver restart and re-install it) and it did not result in a working Lenovo Care button...
I don't beleive the Lenovo keyboad drivers are in any way related to the Service pack 3 as they do not use the Service pack files, to back this up I also had the same problem when Service Pack 2 was installed...
The Lenovo Care button works fine on Boot up screen to access the rescue and recovery software (So the mechanics of the button are fine) but once Windows XP loads it is just a dead button, I remember it used to open up the Lenovo Care Start bar, I got it working once in the past but I can't remember what I did, I thought someone here might know the anwser...

I took my iMac to be fixed and when i got it back, mail was not set up. I called Apple Support and they helped me set up mail. Then the emails went to trash on the iMac and on the MacBook Pro (same emails). There are no numbers by the 'inbox' to tell how

I took my iMac to be fixed and when I got it back, mail was not set, so I called Apple and they helped me set up mail. Now the new mail goes to trash and there is no number by the 'inbox' to tell me how many new messages I have. I cannot save a draft to 'drafts.' There is a large number by 'trash' (I think all mail went to trash - including drafts). When I send myself an emai, it goes to trash also. This is on both my iMac (the one taken in) and my MacBook Pro (same emails) which was not taken in.
I went to 'rules' but have no idea what to do there. There are no rules in the rule box. When I click 'add rule' it puts 'rule 1' in the rule box, but since that was not there when I took it in, I delete it to have an empty rule box.
Can someone pleasehelp me. I am completely stupid with all this. Do not under stand what is suppose to be set up in 'rules.'
Thank you so much,
Arudi

Now new mail is coming to both computer's inboxes but there is no number on the stamp icon on dock to show number of emails on the iMac. Nor is there a number by either email address under MAILBOXES/inbox (sidebar) on the iMac. This number is showing on MacBook Pro.
I also can save drafts now on both computers.
Seems the Pro is fixed and the iMac is only missing the numbers on dock icon and by addresses in inbox.
Now that the problem is less, I feel i am wasting your time but will continue so maybe I can get those numbers back.
Two emails > AT&T email and gmail.
Apple's Mail program for email - yes, and gmail.
IMAP for both accounts.
Did not change mail configuration on MacBook.
The iMac and MacBook Pro have the same mail configuration except in Accounts/mailbox behaviours/store draft messages on the server was not marked on MacBook > it is now.
'Store junk messages on the server' was marked on one computer for gmail, but is unmarked on both now.
On the iMac, Accounts/Accounts info/Outgoing mail for gmail is smtpgmail.
On the MacBook Pro for gmail it is smpt.gmail.com (plus) my email address.
Rules/Add rule window, on the MacBook third line is 'Any Recipient', on the iMac third line is 'From."
The last box on that line has my email address on the MacBook.
The last box on that line has the last address I sent an emil to (last night), on the iMac.
On the last line on iMac, no box was selicted for 'to mailbox' > I choose 'inbox' because it is on the MacBook Pro.
Now I have a Rule #1 and am not sure I should have because there was no rules marked when I took the computer in.
Thank you. I relized I had done the labeling wrong when so much of my question appeared twice and no one else's did. I know how to do it now.
Thank you so much,
Arudi

I have an hp office jet 4500 and os maverick 10.9.4 and I can’t get it to print after last upgrade, multiple malfunctions and error, help? I have tried deleting and resetting printer and re-installing update 6 times. Last update attempt showed none available??? I can’t load the software directly from HP because their only option is to use the software update option on the mac....frustrated!!! Help!!
I get blank pages that just run through the printer and a stats window that just 33% complete and goes no further.

I am going on the guess that an old driver is still installed...
Use Finder Go > go to folder, and go to /Library/Printers and delete the HP folder(s).
Reset the Printing System:
OS X Mavericks: Reset the printing system
Now, Add the printer in Print & Scan prefs.
