Next you might want to join these two experiences together; seamlessly serving the appropriate experience to the appropriate agent.

Then you might devise an elegant system for getting inbound deep flash links – in the swfAddress style – to push via the server to the non-flash experience. And then you might use Javascript to push agents back into the deep flash section.

This situation helped to illuminate something previously unknown: the fragment anchor (the #foo) is not part of the request object sent by the browser. It is simply not sent. There exist some agents that have sporadic support for sending it, but it’s not part of the spec.

So sorry differently-abled agents (and bots), we can’t get you from a deep flash link to the appropriate page in the experience you can parse. You can still get there by clicking, but we can’t do it for you.

PS
There is an ingenious method proposed to at least reduce it to one click with many inline and css exposed named anchors with a link, but it would present it’s own degradation and maintenance issues.

And again, much more. Hearing intelligent people speak passionately about elegance in design and implementation is inspirational. It really can be quite simple.
