Complete flash application and search engine?

programming flash

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,
Sintax :mu:

google indexes xml files. so… in theory …you could query a ton of info from mySql have php covert the result and save as an xml file and place this xml file in your web directory and …again… in theory google will index it.
