A new site not yet submitted to google, we have made a number of our own flash animations which advertise portions of the site on the index page, how is this going to effect how google sees our site, i have read that google cannot see .swf files, they are not used as a navigation or menu system just to funk up the design a little for a target audience? 95% html 5% flash, has anybody found anything out?

Should not effect the site with google. Googlebot can follow flash links also. As long as there is HTML text on the page you should be fine. Just don't expect the Flash content to be indexed.

There's a (perhaps) relevant thread here:
