i think i read an article before about google or some SE teaming up with the Adobe Flash Developers in an effort to include flash pages into search results by allowing the text inside SWFs to be read by the SEs… not really sure about the details, but its something to that extent…
that’s good news but what i would like to know is if spam bots can do the same and read text inside an SWF file?
for example, if i have an SWF file with a dynamic textbox that has some text that contains an email address, will spam bots be able to read it?
if this is the case, then i will just make the email address an image…
but the benefits of having the email address inside a dynamic textbox is that it’s selectable; making it easier for visitors to just copy the address as opposed to having to look at the image and type it manually…
