Any update on whether Google can crawl links contained in flash?

The answer is yes - Google can index both text and links in a Flash file.

Thanks. Any experience on whether it carries the same weight as an html link?

I'd expect the link to have the same value, but the overall disadvantage of not having pages with individual headers will be a detractor for Flash-only sites.

I would assume they do not have the same value until it is proven otherwise.
