Using the above technology, Google can now fully index .swf files.

“Of course, we had our own algorithm for extracting text from Flash files, but I consider switching to Adobe's Search Engine SDK as a transition to a higher level in this direction,” said Cutts. “My opinion is that over time, most search engines will use this technology to extract text from Flash files.”
Flash developers and SEO specialists may have my application in doubt, however, I made it as it is. The meaning is simple, but very important: if web developers, especially Flash developers, want to test .swf files from an SEO point of view, Flash files developed for the test must contain text.
While on theory everything seems simple, in practice everything is rather complicated. Flash is a sophisticated multimedia application with tremendous flexibility and layered content. The download queue may vary depending on the desire of the developer or the purpose of the Flash movie.
Tests were conducted, the purpose of which was to find out what text can be recognized using the new Search Engine SDK technology. However, no precise recommendations and rules could be derived; hence we draw a very important conclusion: in order to find out what works and what does not, it is necessary to conduct independent tests.
Adobe is working hard on the development of its tool, so if now it does not work at full power, then you just need to wait a bit. True, we can already call this step very significant, because It is able to increase the demand for Flash applications that can already be optimized for search engines.
