Flash testing

Can Flash truly be crawled or is Google and Adobe just talking well out of somewhere, lets do some very simple tests.

If we get results we will move onto mixing text images and video :) so place your bets.

I personally think it’s just Google and Adobe telling us that it works; but I gues we will soon see. I reallyforward to seeing the results. I am getting ready to launch a big site in Silverlight from Microsoft and I am going to be running some tests on some Silverlight pages.

I look forward to the results Tim as I still like to dabble with Flash sites now and again.

So far not promising I’m running tests here and on three separate test domains using a range of normal Flash techniques and only using the standard technique for embedding Flash.

But I don’t want to be totally negative Googlebot may come back with a Flash translator or something ;)
