[SWFObject] What does GOOGLEBOT read and index?

[Geoff Stearns]

there's no doubts about it... to test this you can search for:

"this is replaced by the flash content" (in quotes) in google, and  
you'll see a ton of pages that just use the default code that I  
provide with the script... all indexed by google.

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&safe=off&q=%22this+is+replaced 
+by+the+flash+content%22&btnG=Search
