Google,Yahoo,MSN:-Flash Content

[real_estate]

Hi there,
Does Google, Yahoo and MSN index Flash content?

"Yes, Google can parse through the text contained within a .swf file and present that information in a Google search. But due to the fact that an entire website can be contained in a single .swf file, whereas a traditional HTML site may consist of hundreds of individual pages, the weightings and rankings given to certain pages may not be accurately portrayed in Google's results. In other words, a site that might have one page talking about Subject X, and a separate page talking about Subject Y... if a qualitatively better (in terms of actual content relevancy) site were created in Flash and everything was contained one .swf, a Google search for Subject X might rank the individual HTML page higher than the actually better .swf-based page.
