Is Google starting to see links inside Flash files?

[loganoski]

Hi,
I was doing a check with link:www.some-web-site.com and among the results I found:

[FLASH]*url*/news.swf
Formato file: Shockwave Flash

So I opened that file and inside ther was a link to www.some-web-site.com.

I guess that now it's starting to read links inside swf files but no description is associed to the file.

Google is reading links inside Flash files for a long time.

I think it was Oct 2001 that GG announced they were able to follow a link embeded in flash. But I didn't rush to change all my sites & links to flash at the time.

Hmmm, maybe now's the time... ;)
Not.

Does the Spider Simulator tool posted here at Webmaster World (www.searchengineworld.com/cgi-bin/sim_spider.cgi) return accurate results in regards to how Google sees a Flash site?
