On many of things I build, I just use php or aspx pages to parse the same xml file I used in the flash portion, then have it dump that data out into the div that swfobject writes the flash swf to. CSS isn't hiding that div, rather that swfobject/javascript is rewriting the data that's in the div. Google generally doesn't parse javascript, so anything in that div should show up in search. I'm not sure how it'll work as they begin parsing the js->swf now from that article I linked to, but if it's the same data used for both I wouldn't think it would matter either way.
If you view the source at http://prestonkelly.com (or visit the page with javascript turned off) you can maybe see what I mean. I used php to parse the same XML that the Flash portion uses to write out links to sections within that site.
