In case you haven’t heard, Adobe has provided tools to search engines to help them index Flash. The day may be near that Flash will be search engine friendly, although my gut instinct tells me it’s going to be a rough road before there is any value to Google crawling Flash. Nevertheless, here are some links to relevant coverage:

I think its great that the search engines can finally index flash. However, there are still issues with a site done entirely in flash. The search engines don’t seem to follow the menu links within a flash movie.
