    Hiiiii DP,

    Google team has developed an algorithm for flash related files.

    Using this algorithm G can identify the textual contents in the flash file.

    These contents are also used for generating snippet.

    Google finds and index the textual contents in flash files
    Moreover G can find out URLs in the flash files.

    Limitations:-

    If your flash file contains only images, G will not
    recognize or index the text that appears on the image.

    G cant recognize flash content written in bidirectional languages

    Do you guys know more about indexing flash files???????........ tell me!!!!!!

    Yes I agree with you!!! html files are best for SEO purpose.

    But G is improving their crawling mechanism day by day!!!!!

    Now G-Bot can catch the textual content from flash file and also it mirrors in the snippet!!!!! Improving!!!!!:)
