It's about time!!!! Finally, Flash is going to be searchable by Google and Yahoo spiders!
Original Article
Adobe is working with Google and Yahoo to develop algorithms that will spider Flash SWF files. Apparently the spider works by navigating through the SWF file just like how a human would: by clicking through each page and manually going through the content. It remembers and indexes the text that it comes across and follows the various URLs.
Personally, this is an extremely promising advance in search engine technology for me. To be able to make a completely Flash website that could end up on the top of a search result without an HTML version, extensive sitemap, or wild work-arounds would be a dream. I might have to revamp my website to actually create what I have in mind once they've perfected the technology!
