Myspace traffic redirects to flash

There is a new program you can download plus some extra hard working and some coding and you will be able to take the basic crappy myspace layout and send people that try to go to your myspace site to a different flash site of your own. First you need to download the Ming package with is an advanced library for generating Macromedia flash files.

after this is done you can go ahead and right the code in that will initially do the redirecting

"apt-get install libming-util

Now, in your favorite text editor, create a file with the following text:

getURL("http://www.example.com");

Substitute the URL for the site you want to redirect to in place of ‘www.example.com' above. Save this file as redirect.as. Now run the command:

makeswf redirect.as

This will produce a file called out.swf. Upload this file to a webserver where you can now fetch it from an external page.

The final step is to include the new flash file in your MySpace page. Include the following code somewhere on your MySpace page:

src="http://www.example.com/path/to/out.swf" quality=high
pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="200" height="200">
"

what this does is send em t a site you would prefer them to go to
I think this will totally change the myspace world. Now people will no longer have to suffer through tons of crappy layouts and junk when they can now go to a well done flash website.Through this I think myspace will also get more popularity cause people will sign up now just to get those to redirect tons of traffic to there better sites. This will also boost the popularity of flash just because people that may have been using HTML will switch to flash to be able to pull the higher amounts of traffic
