Flash & meta tags/search engines

[vosgien]

Hi,
I've done a pretty extensive search regarding search engines and Flash, or more pertinent, meta tags and Flash. I can't find a conclusive answer, wondered if anyone had any experience of this.
1) Can I put meta tags into my html file ( the one that has my Flash movie embedded) - if so where ?
2) on my preLoader I have a ticker tape message which contains all the key words I want to use - this is dynamically generated - will search engines pick this up does anyone know ?

Cheers

Hi,
Thanks RanTen, I did quite a thorough search at macromedia tech notes yesterday and discovered quite a lot about meta tags, keywords etc relative to Flash and some interesting info about those mysterious tags <---text in this movie-->

Thanks for taking the time

Cheers

:) yeah I've seen u ! Vosgien, RanTen was already here the first time I joined and then all of a sudden he was gone ! Main reason I noticed was the swf footer he used. You saw this beach girl and this guy, and she said "RanTen", and then he leterally ran 10 times ... and then nothing ! It made me lift an eyebrow ...

H Ricod,

Thats something thats made me wonder..why dosen't my footer show up? It comes out all gibberish.

Any ideas?

As you might have noticed ... they're gone ! It was hard on those without broadband and a tad distracting (I wonder if mine gave seizures to people ... I made it in 10 seconds just to have something there ... not the best design motivation !).

So, until the slowest connection here is cable / ADSL ... I guess they'll stay off. Unless people REALLY want them ... perhaps they can beg and plead by Jesse and Strok .
*note - this is NOT a suggestion*

So, better to remove the gibberish untill then :).

actually, i think they came off because of a security risk. not sure any more...
*twitch*
