Flex 4.0, iteration much-awaited

Recently, Adobe has announced that Flex 4.0 Gumbo will be released soon. Adobe has promised a boost in accelerated development and horizontal platform enhancements. But among the development community, the anticipation for a search-engine friendly flash component is also growing up. And we know, why SEO practitioners are worried about Flash. The basic problem with Flash is that every search engine struggles to understand it, and more probably, would never comprehend it in near future also. Flash components contain logic and are capable of taking inputs from the visitor, but search engines were designed only to take care of static content. Actually, Flash is a running program, so it's very hard to analyze than a HTML code. Adobe Dreamweaver, which is a leading development tool that embeds the Flash components in web pages with code, ultimately fails to create a path of accessibility for web-crawlers and cannot handle the components easily. Some experts say that instead of embedding the default code developers can use the hand-coded Flash components with HTML content before attempting to insert them. The HTML content can be search-optimized as if there was no Flash, while the flash delivers an improved user-experience.

Flex Gumbo as the perfect tool

Adobe says that the new Flex Gumbo is being designed as a perfect tool for both designers and developers and will accelerate the application development. And it is true that Flash animations are a big way to deliver complex content because they allow more content in tiny space, without cracking a page design. For techies and tech websites, it is a rich application to create slide shows or movies to explain a difficult product. At the other end, entertainment sites have a deadly need for multimedia rich components and Flash is the perfect one for them.

Anticipations about Flex Gumbo

Search Engine friendly, like never before.

Clean design to cooperate with variety of browsers.

Easy design and deployment for special screen readers and mobile phones

As usually, Standards compliance

Characteristics to cooperate with the web-spiders, robots, crawlers, scutters, etc

Before acquisition by Adobe systems, Macromedia introduced a flash-friendly search engine application. In theory, using the SDK, search engines can decompress the Flash files, parse the content, and index it in search engine databases. But they are not perfect, because, even if all search engine companies deployed that SDK immediately, the troubles could have continued. That's because the algorithms which were used to index and rank the HTML content will be applied to the Flash components as well. So, in the light of this, search engine friendly Flash components will be the great news for everyone. Will the Flex 4.0 Gumbo do that?
