OK, apparently Google has started to index .swf files in search engines including embedded text.

THE PROBLEM: when clicked, the link from google takes you directly to the .swf file and not the HTML page it has been embedded in. So basically, it scales it to your screen size. For those of us who intend their .swf files to be scaled small, or have bitmap images…WE’RE SCREWED\>\>

How can we get around this???
