Nothing to see here (unless your googlebot) 
Just a quick test to see if content gets read from within a swf.
UPDATE both swfs have been spidered, and the nonsense terms contained within now show up within google. In the second one, the unique active link within the swf has been followed to a page that otherwise would be undiscoverable. Whereas the first one has been spidered for content but the link not followed.
After a bit of banter in the office about favicons (always a nice little extra touch) we noticed that firefox can support animated ones too. Never one to not take it a step further, I thought – why not use that tiny little 16 pixel square to convey even more – hence the frivolity of the code below (and what you should see if viewing this in firefox – a tiny ticker in the favicon space to the left of the address bar or tab, in this case getting Aberdeen’s current weather info from a BBC weather rss feed)
I’ve been looking at various server solutions for implementing realtime chat /realtime games, with a flash front end.
Rather than using am inelegant polling php solution , I thought I’d look into something more efficient and quick responding.
Normally I’d look straight to Adobe Media Server, but a) it’s heavy on server resources and b) the dev version has a piddling 10 simultaneous connections (£3k+ for a full licence). As the project I’m looking at implementing is a shoestring affair that just ain’t happening..
