Google indexing flash sites update

[simo90]

At Text-to-Art, in addition to developing interactive marketing CDs and marketing videos, we develop marketing flash websites almost exclusively. Therefore, I am very interested in knowing or getting an update on how much of a flash website Google is able to index. I know that Google is now able to do so, but I'm not sure how much of the site Google can see. Any thoughts or combos would be greatly appreciated.

google now reads flash, was on the news recently....

Google already improved the way they index and read SWF files, Big G can read any text content of the SWF it self...
To set the page/listing Title and Description you need to modify those settings in your project, since version 7.0 of Macromedia Flash it becomes offical that you need to set those values in the Document/Project Settings...
You can also get a copy of the 'Adobe SDK for SWF' (Google it) to browse the SWF files in Google Eye, as Google is not providing any possible ways to check the cached Text-Edition of the SWF pages indexed in their engine, yet ;)

i think 6 months back they have changed their algorithm

It is an old news... Google starts to analyze the textual things in the flash file....

But some drawbacks are there....

1) Cant identify the text "upon" a picture...

2) Cant analyze bidirectional language...

etc...
