I have been using Macromedia “Flash Detection Kit” for a couple off weeks, and all was well until I notice that my web sites are either no longer showing up in search engines, or not showing up in as good of placement. I believe it has something to do with how fast the detection script works. Has anyone had this problem? And/Or is there maybe a way to put a timer in the java command to let the page stay open a little longer.
Here is a link to the “Flash Detection Kit”.

Most search engines go off “meta tags” so if you didn’t put them in after re-making the pages in Flash you will drop off the list…
It’s a tricky thing to master, but have a look at [http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/searchengines.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/searchengines.htm) it’s very good…
I usually like to add some text in HTML on the Splash (entry) page that matches what you have in the description and keyword tag…
