Okay, so I have a client that would like a deep link into a Flash site I’ve designed and built for them. After some serious research, SWFAddress seems to be the popular choice and it seems to be the most elegant.
However, digging through the SWFAddress forums (as well as their brief documentation), I’m left with the idea that a site must have a very linear navigation in order to take advantage of SWFAddress’s deep linking feature. Basically, the Nav must be timeline based, rather than AS based.
** Please download and check their Flash website.fla example to see what I mean**

The site I’ve designed uses a very common dynamically loaded swf architecture. Does this mean that any site using this architecture will not support deep linking at all?
Some background on what I’m trying to achieve: I’d like a unique URL that links directly into a section of the Flash site. The ‘section’ of the site is reached by simply having the right swfs loaded into their container clips.
If anyone has any advice on how to make this happen, please enlighten me!
