SWFAddress

Friday, September 7th, 2007

I’m not sure how I missed this, but apparently I did almost over a year ago, and SWFAddress is a deeplinking tool for Flash.  I haven’t used it as I’ve obviously just discovered it, but it seems very easy to use and looks pretty handy from the example source.

Mathematical Speed Benchmarks

Saturday, August 11th, 2007
