SWFAddress 2.0 - Deep linking for Flash and Ajax
SWFAddress is a small, but powerful library that provides deep linking for Flash and Ajax.

• Bookmarking in a browser or social website
• Sending links via email or instant messenger
• Finding specific content with the search engines
• Utilizing browser history, back / forward and reload buttons
• Easy integration with SWFObject (see "Quick Setup for SWFObject")
