macromedia flash sitedesign: Hi, can you please help? I post this problem a while ago.

My problem is: I developed a website in Flash 8 on the Mac. The Flash swf file
is displayed via Dreamweaver doc. When I do a search and, when the site is
found in Google, all the links used in the Flash swf file appears in the
snippets below the main title. I would like to know where I'm going wrong, and
how can I prevent Google from displaying the URL and email details.

Do I need to use a preloaded, or do I need to put the Flash swf movie file in
a table in Dreamwever.

Many thanks,
Blue_Mac

Take a look at the source code for the HTML page that holds your Flash
movie. Do you see a commented section of code that lists all of those
addresses? If you do, just remove that code.

Hi Rob,
Many thanks for picking this up. I've been scratching my head over this - the
Deramweaver file is a single doc with the Flash swf file inserted, very basic.

I've checked and none of the details appear in the HTML code. I think the
problem lies in the Flash file. Is there a way of commenting them out?

Another thing - I've now removed the site from the web, yet when I do a search
the details still appears in Google. I'm hoping that when Google carries out a
crawl the details will update and clear. This has not happen yet.

I don't know how this is happening then. Search engine spiders don't
read through compiled files like Flash.

Thanks, this is reassuring. Although it seems to have done just that.

The following action script is where the details are coming from. I've used
the name 'whatever" as an example. I don't mind the URLs on view as much as I
mind my email address because of security issues.

on (release) {
//Goto Webpage Behavior
getURL("mailto:whatever@whatever.co.uk","_blank");
//End Behavior
}

I'll check my files again to see if I've miss anything out - I have done this
so many times already.

Regards,
