Your time may becoming soon, As you know as beautiful flash sites are and how appeasing they are for your visitors are to view, they are no search engine friendly and rarely show up on the first page. One solution has always been to offer your visitors both an html site and a flash version. Not only for those potential clients that may not be able to view the flash site, but for the old SE spiders.
According to this article SEO Friendly Flash there could be another alternative:
"This script allows for a div section named "flashcontent". Anything placed inside this div will not be shown to the user but your Flash movie will show up as usual. The idea is to place plain text content and/or links inside this div as spider food."
This is some food for thought, but until those mighty spiders can crack through the the flash movie files and see all the content inside, I still suggest offering the html version!

Now that is interesting... I knew there was a reason why I don't like flash. You are absolutly right: As soon as websites become "fancier", search engines such as google, yahoo, or MSN, have to upgrade their crawlers too... good point. Thanks!
