That’s a good question, I don’t think as web people we’d want users going directly to a SWF file. My hope is Google will count it as part of a page’s content. Let’s hope.

So, even if Google can get to the content in flash will they be able to generate a link that can actually take you to the content? Otherwise the user is left to their own devices, hunting and pecking their way through a flash movie.

First off thanx for the link and secondly we have been able to do much of the nifty flash stuff using the jQuery library and that has been really awesome to just learn some of that. Because it’s javascript it’s much more crawl friendly.
