Has anyone been looking into this? FLash would be suitable for thousands of things there are, but I think one of the major reasons the web hasnt switched to almost 100% Flash is that the data inside the SWF file wouldnt be accessible to Google. Is there a way to let a crawler or whatever inside the data to get text out of it that it can index?

Thanks.
