With SEO copyediting and coding skills applied to the primary content, Flash becomes a non-issue.

In regards to issue #1, Adobe is making swfObject the standard way of embedding swf’s. swfObject just so happens to be based off of Javascript. This means that a majority of recent and future projects will not be recognized by Google's new spiders.

My recommended Flash SEO method uses a DIV with search-engine-accessible, primary content, and an open source Javascript function called swfobject() to detect when browsers are capable of viewing Flash. When an appropriate version of Flash player is present, the Javas

I was just using mouseEnabled = false all this time, which can be tedious if you have a lot of nested objects. Thanks, this will save me a lot of time in the future.

Thanks Ickydime. This is my first time integrating asdocs, flashbuilder, and the flash IDE and this tip helped me sort out issues I was having with IDE based items.

Thanks!

You are a life saver.

BTW: Even now it's
hard to find your solution in google.
In my case this hover problem was everytime I was mousing over any text, not just links.

BIG thanks:) I was going crazy with this hover bug.

I would like to commend you on trying new things. I currently have a small business myself where I test and review new technologies on the market. I hope to hear big things from your company in the future. If you like you can check out my site http://www.dc-tech-review.com and when you have a new game out we would enjoy reviewing it.

2011-03-27T17:18:07.003-07:00

I could see the sales being what got them noticed. That is a good point. It would be interesting to see a sales chart from them w/ before and after being featured. Maybe their will do a post-mortem down the road to completely debunk any speculations I have made. ;)

The more I learn about #sworcery the more I realize how late to the game I was in covering this. Incredible amount of articles and hype dating back a year, as you mentioned.

2011-03-27T14:15:19.574-07:00

I'm sure you've considered this - but is it not quite likely that all the PR and hype they've been building for literally months now helped result in those impressive day 1 sales (from all the fans). And that in itself (the high sales figures) got it noticed by someone at Apple. At which point being featured further I would assume comes down to some personal (or team) decision somewhere, much like if you enjoyed it or not. I'm guessing they obviously did.

I don't think it's any kind of magic or voodoo, just good old traditional PR and press baiting - and they've been at it for a long time now. Teaser shots, videos, etc. Couple that with what is actually a great game for most players and it's easy to see why the bush caught fire. You probably should have started tracking this like a year ago to see how they built up to what they did! :)

2011-03-24T06:43:03.683-07:00

I am really interested to see how this plays out too. Most of the praise that has gushed out of the media has been from journalists who love indie games. I am not sure if this game can extend to crowd that is just angry bird players. This could go down as a game that gets a lot of buzz but sells moderately well.

Yes actually, you are absolutely right.

@mehdadoo
Had the competition been about technical merit, you would have been the clear winner. But technical difficutly != a good game.

Take Spore for example. Ridiculously hard to make. Technically amazing. But just not very fun.

Minecraft on the other hand. While technically impressive for one man, it is no where near as complex as Spore. Additionally, it has terrible graphics and looks archaic. But that doesn't matter as the game is extremely fun and addictive.

Hopefully that does not discourage you though! Your ability to pick up a new technology and whip out a complex game in a short amount of time will help you be very success.
