Up until now Flash has been an amazing program but had limited support when it came to indexing a site that was primarily Flash based; I am happy to say those days are behind us! Google announced on their official blog that they have released their first Flash crawler which will index flash sites more effectively.
Why should this be important to Flash Designers?
Yes, Up until now it was a struggle to get Flash Websites indexed into search engines; now flash sites will be able to rise in the Google Ranks.
Does this mean designing Web Pages will be an easier job for Flash Designers?
No, on the contrary Flash Designers should be going over their site to make sure that their Website will be read efficiently by Google. Up until now Flash Designers Did not have to worry about making their Websites Spider/crawler accessible. Many designers may see this as a ton of work that they did not expect, nor want and may have to postpone projects they are working on to re-do their current Web design.
Does this mean my HTML page won’t be indexed and will fall in the Google Ranks?
No, HTML is still easier for robots to read; though if your Website is mainly based in HTML you may need to re-design your site, because there are more sites being indexed.
