    Search engines use many things to decide a site's page ranking, one of which is the importance of title tags. Flash can be crawled by google, but basically all the text is stripped out as plain text and keywords can lose certain value. This can be overcome for the most part by using something like the SWFObject. Basically you build all the HTML site content for the search engines in a DIV tag, then on load the javascript will replace that content with your flash content. Search engines and people without the flash plugin see the first stuff, those with the plugin see the flash.
