Hi,  
I wasn’t sure which forum to direct this enquiry to??  
I have submitted 2 flash sites to Google and Yahoo a few times over a period of about 4 months and they are not picking them up.I have heard of issues with spiders/bots(??) not being able to see Flash sites.Does anyone know anything about this or where I can find info (Lycos,Altavista and some others picked these sites up just fine)  
The clients are understandably peeved that their sites are not showing in the 2 most used search facilities.  
Any help would be most appreciated.

I heard something about that problem too, but I don’t know if it’s true or not. What I did was create a splash page out of just html and embeded meta tags and it works great.
