Throwing this back onlist. Jonathan's right. Google can index it (especially the "content" flash extracts and puts into the HTML wrapper it automatically generates) but the biggest problem is the fact that a flash presentation has no concept of pages. Even if you did end up on Google, any user from Google would have to start from the beginning of your presentation. You can't have Google open your flash in a particular state (with appropriate content showing). a.

Just to expand on this: Google is able to index flash (swf) files but I'm not sure of how it pulls that content out or how it ranks it. Suffice it to say, a flash-based site won't rank as high as an html-based site. so, best to stay away from it. :)
