Indexing Flash Interview and technical review Google SEO and Flash

Here's an article I just found about Google indexing flash. It's just an interview with an employee non-affiliated with Google, but it does answer some questions.

This should be a giant leap for Macromedia, too. Now designers are going to start choosing Flash for its now-compatibility with Google. They should see a leap in sales for Flash.

Now that Google has introduced a new type of content to their index, this also worries me. Could we possibly start seeing a new way to spam the SE's?

Could this be one of the explanations for that new Googlebot that appeared a few weeks ago? If I remember correctly, it was starting to examine more data types that the old bot didn't even go near.
