Hi,

I’m going to redesign a website I made last year, and I’m thinking to develop it in Flash. It’s a music review site, with loads of content. Currently it’s made with HTML/PHP/MySQL.

I just finished another Flash project with PHP/XML/MySQL integration, and it all turned out well. I’m not quite sure if I wanna go the Flash way for this redesign project, due to Flash’s lack of search engine support.

Many visitors visit our site through a google search, so it’s quite important. Have any of you have experience building large scale flash applications, in which content had to be indexed by a search engine? Or can anyone provide some useful information on handling the situation?

Or is this a bad approach, creating quite a large scale website completely in Flash?

Thanx in advance,
