Search Engine and User Readiness

Craig from ColdFusion Purists poses the question "How do we help visitors bookmark a specific part of the flash site?" He's speaking, of course, about a site with a holistic Flash interface, typically featuring a single page within which all content is displayed. Because these sites don't normally feature traditional html links that would send the browser to another URL, visitors and search engines can't bookmark or index specific sections or "pages" of the displayed content without some extra help from the programmer. Several methods to resolve this problem are described in the comments on his blog, some of which are linked below.
