Well it's actually true but it's more accurate to say some Flash can
be crawled and some links can be extracted from it. I don't know of
any precise way of determining exactly which links will be extracted
and crawled so basically as I understands it it's still useless for
SEO. I've actually played with a copy of the Macomedia developers' kit
but it was way above the big techie me.
