Ever since the beginnings of flash, the question of whether flash was good of bad for website design has been circulating. The truth is that most web designers are more confused than everybody else. You can go online and find forums with dozens of hundreds of people arguing endesly around the same topics.
Today I am going to give my take on it.
A flash movie is like an image, browsers will not be able to read anything on it. So if a website is full flash, a search engine will not be able to read anything from it. However, there are ways around it : just create the HTML with all the content and keywords and then place it as alternate content using a JS code. (for the code go here: SWF Object).
Once the search engines have code to read, then flash is not a problem anymore!
And if you really think about it, flash can do lots of things plain HTML cannot.
