After eventually realizing that the search engines index flash content nowadays, and having a flash movie in the SERP’s I wish to find out if there is a script that checks the movie is in the html page and not just being displayed as indexed by the engines. When someone searches a keyword in that is contained in my flash movie the resulting page displays a result to my .swf movie file which as no reference to my navigation therefore once they view the movie they cannot do anything else apart from click the browser back button to go back to the engine results page. I can add a return home button / link to the flash movie, but thought it would be better if I found a little client script that checks to see if the movie is being shown from inside the html page or being shown standalone. If shown standalone it would then refresh / redirect the browser to the flash movie landing page. Is there such a script or how do you find it best to handle this sort of thing? I am aware of other options such as disallowing the swf movie from the robots.txt and other means of blocking the search engine from seeing the movie but wouldn’t like to take this router unless of course there was no other more friendly way of handling this.
