I want to have a new website built and I think FLASH would be the way to go, but it's all graphics and coded, right? so... 1) The search engines won't pick up all of the text that is in the website for searchability? 2) I can't change the text in the site without going into a flash editor? Is there another programming language like flash, but easy to change on a regular basis and can be indexed good by google? thanks!
To answer 1) No, search engines don't see it. This is why flash should be used only 'around' the text in your websites to enhance them and not totally drive the site. 2) You don't need to edit the flash to change page content. XML allows you to edit all the information with a text based file.
