I’m not sure if this issue has been addressed in quite the same way…

As I understand it, when search engines go looking for hits, they’re combing through a website, looking for the most relevant examples of the search criteria. That’s easily done with an html site, nearly impossible with a Flash site.

But since a full Flash site still has to reside within an html page, couldn’t you place the words you think would be found by a search engine in the html header, or something?
