FLASH and SEO: People Make Me Feel Bad

Everywhere I go, there’s somebody(usually o-o programmers) telling me, “You’re going to be a flash developer? Wow. Flash sucks man.”

And then there always comes up the topic of Search Engine Optimization and I don’t even have an answer for that. Google Sitemaps are driving me nuts. None of my sites get picked up by google and it’s been a week, and it’s even after I’ve done the sitemap and gotten the thumbs up.

I add meta tags and such but only the main page gets indexed, nothing beyond that.

I’ve gone thru the Flash Search SDK and my output files have links like, “login.html” and “contactus.html”

i’m just not sure what i’m doing wrong. More importantly, are these o-o folks right?
