Deep linking with SWFAddress 2.5
The BirdBase Demo Site has been updated to use the latest – development version – of SWFAddress.
If you see errors like this:
[Fault] exception, information=ArgumentError: Error #1063: Argument count mismatch on com.asual.swfaddress::SWFAddress$/_setValue(). Expected 2, got 1.
at Function/http://adobe.com/AS3/2006/builtin::apply()
at flash.external::ExternalInterface$/_callIn()
at Function/()
Then update your SWFAddress Actionscript and Javascript from either the Demo Site on Github or the Asual repository here.
The BirdBase Demo Site has been updated to use the latest BirdBase lib, 0.8.2, and we will push the changes into the BirdBase repo shortly.
Hello!
The 2.5 version is a beta version, old, but never out.
The current release is still 2.4:
http://www.asual.com/swfaddress/
And it seems the project is dead now:
Asual, the author of SWFaddress has moved on Github – https://github.com/asual
And works on Java/JavaScript projects. No more on SWFaddress
Are you sure it’s cool to use it in birdbase?

You’re quite right, but 2.5 works better
As of right now, it works in production just fine – so far. The project seems to have been inactive for a long time now, but it’s the only thing we’ve got. BirdBase doesn’t directly use it, but rather integrates it via the as3-navigator library written by Eric-Paul (https://github.com/epologee/navigator-as3).
I think:
1. It’s fine to use in BirdBase.
2. That none of know if and when it will stop working.
3. We should be prepared for that time and ensure that project managers, account handlers and team leads know that this might happen
4. Even if development is dead, that doesn’t mean it doesn’t work. Go for it.
