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).

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. :)
