The Searchable SWF File

from http://www.deitte.com Previous solutions for a searchable SWF were workarounds using swf2html or attaching xml to a page. Adobe and Google have worked together to make SWFs show up in Google results. A special version of the Flash Search Player (Ichabod) steps through visual states and gets the text. It only finds text fields that would actually be shown in the display list. Ichabod must be fast, so it executes faster than real time and doesn’t render. Since it must be deterministic, there’s no network access, sockets, or threads (sound). Thinking about providing a version of Icabod that’s available to everyone to allow you to search SWFs yourself. 阅读全文——共1602字
