[SWFObject] Where might I place these tags..

Greetings,
 
I recently discovered that the static text fields I placed in my .swf were being read by search engines. (even text that I used as masks).
I asked someone better versed in Flash than myself why this was happening so that I could continue doing it for SEO.
They guessed that it might be the tags in my html, which I was publishing straight from Flash while changing a few lines.
 
I've since migrated to the SWFObject method. Knowing little about .html (and far less about .js) I'm unsure as to where I might place these tags, since the <body> tags that they used to follow now contain the "Flash Version" alert and the movie reffered to is now loaded by the .js file.
these are the lines (I am assuming) I'd like to keep;
 
<!--url's used in the movie--><!--text used in the movie-->
 
Am I still able to use them in the html body or should they somehow be placed in the .js?
 
here is the page http://www.keylo.us/home/home.swf
I discovered the text issue by googling the link I had placed, "WholeNewSpin"
It is usually the 3rd link, "[FLASH] Laidman Fabrication... "
The static text that appears is "MUSIC MUSIC MUSIC MUSIC turn it up.." There are only 2 instances of the word "music" on the stage, one a mask (as mentioned), so I'm not sure why it shows up 4 times. You can see it by rolling over the left side of the train (spinning arrows).
 
some wacky side notes..
1. I don't use the SWFObject on this page and there is no "Click to use.." issue.
2. the source can't be viewed from my IE, is garbled in Netscape/firefox on PC but I can view it from Safari/Mac.
3. the page is loading with the .swf extension in the address.
 
Again, I'm not well versed in html and js, (relatively new to Actionscript), so your feedback is appreciated.
 
Thanks,
Key.
 
 
below is the html;
 
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en"><head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" /><title>home</title></head><body bgcolor="#000000" leftmargin="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" topmargin="0">
<!--url's used in the movie--><!--text used in the movie--><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,0,0" width="100%" height="100%" id="home" align="middle"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" /><param name="movie" value="home.swf" /><param name="quality" value="best" /><param name="salign" value="t" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#000000" /><embed src="home.swf" quality="best" salign="t" bgcolor="#000000" width="100%" height="100%" name="home" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" /></object></body></html>
