Googlebot does not execute some types of JavaScript. So if your web page loads a Flash file via JavaScript, Google may not be aware of that Flash file, in which case it will not be indexed. - so, that's any that use UFO, SWFObject etc - isn't that everyone now? > 2. We currently do not attach content from external resources that are loaded by your Flash files. If your Flash file loads an HTML file, an XML file, another SWF file, etc., Google will separately index that resource, but it will not yet be considered to be part of the content in your Flash file. hmm, won't most that need to be indexed use dynamic content in SWFs to reduce initial load times, connect to CMSs/'s/es etc jb -- jon bennett w: http://www.jben.net/ iChat (AIM): jbendotnet Skype: jon-bennett
