Flash Files Getting Partially Indexed

Posted by Search Engine Panel :

Adobe is providing optimized Adobe® Flash® Player technology to Google and Yahoo! to enhance search engine indexing of the Flash file format (SWF) and uncover information that is currently undiscoverable by search engines.

Did you know that Google Actually can find up to 75 Million Flash files (.SWF) on the Web. Flash technology can be found in many components now on the web : Video applications, Ads, Banners, Animations and sometimes there are entire sites that are based on Flash technology.

So Until now the flash files were not indexed and could'nt be crawled by search engines like Google, yahoo, etc..., but now thanks to a special flash player developed by Adobe, Flash files are no longer invisible to Search Engines as this player allows them to read and index SWF files.

Well a good question or maybe a little concern is that even if flash files are now indexed and can be seen!!!! will they be highly ranked in the Search Engines Result Pages? I think this is the most important question to ask.
