Flash Sites & Robots

[pollescu]

Does anyone know what's the best way to build a flash site so that robots can follow the links. I know that you can add comments. But do search engine robots follow those links and read that text, or just ignore it cause they are commented lines???

Are there any other ways???

I believe that Google is able to index flash files and is able to follow links what are within SWF files... not 100% sure, however. An idea would be to put links (regular HTML) on the bottom of your page (below flash) so that robots could follow them to other pages.

For example (sorry about the bad illustration):
--------------------------------
|
| Flash Content
|
--------------------------------
Home | Link1 | Link2 | Link3 | Site Map|
Another Link | ETC...|

Hope that makes sense...
