Hi there,
I have been playing around with UrlKit today and I am still trying to figure out how I could get the following URLs matched:

http://www.example.com/#hello/world
http://www.example.com/#hello/world/1
http://www.example.com/#hello/world?query=string
http://www.example.com/#hello/world/1?query=string

now the first two parts of the url (hello and world) should be also “dynamic” meaning that I want an endless path to be matched like
http://www.example.com/#hello/world/how/are/you/today
etc.

How would I go about doing that?

Any help would be great.
Cheers,
Moz

sorry first time comment system didnt like me

i absolutely love the simplicity of urlkit. except i am running into one problem that breaks my head.

i am not using the flex navigator components on which most examples are based. but i am using states which inside of them have custom components with their own rules so i found this in the documentation:

so i did this with the delegate rule:

that works fine if i have 2 states but what if want to have multiple state equality checks in there?

or is there another way around this?

any help would be greatly appreciated

cheers

I don’t think deep linking is severely broken in IE7, although there are a few bugs. But maybe there’s something I don’t know, since I haven’t been working on deep linking lately.

It’s probably possible to use Urlkit 0.92 somehow or other but I have never tried it and I’d probably try to work with the Flex 3 deep linking approach.

So it looks like deep linking in Flex 3 is broken in IE7. From what I have read on your blog that makes sense. Can you user URLKit 0.92 in Flex3 instead of the built in Deep Linking?

Nope, I don’t know why there would be a problem. What version of Flex SDK are you using?

for some reason i dont see the url updated,
when i try to run the samples.
the sample are inside webserver(tomcat), and i tried it over iexplorer and firefox.

i tried to debug it, and saw the code that should update the url, but nothing happened.
any clue ?

thanks.

I think you’ll have to post a bug to Google Code and attach some sort of example. I have no doubt that there are some difficulties with Modules as UrlKit was never tested with them.

I know of at least one approach which should definitely work, which is to maintain the navigational state in the main app (i.e. the model whose values the sliders are bound to).

Thanks Joe.

The tab navigator is in the main application (not a module) and the modules contain a bunch of controls (such as the slider). I need to deeplink which item within the viewstack is in view (this works) and any values set in each module, i.e. the slider’s hi/lo (this does not work).

No matter how I try all my urlRules within a module are ignored by the parent application.

If my explanation is confusing I can post an example.

Any tips would be much appreciated!
