Does XML help Flash parts of the page be picked up by Google?
Im debating on how much Flash I should use on my site...it will probably be hybrid...but am thinking of using Flash to show things like Latest News...which will pulled from XML....

It is my understanding that if you want to be ranked pretty high on the Search Engines you should not do a "completely Flash" site?
Well...what happens if your Flash files are pulling in data via XML? Does that help? Do the spiders go thru all your files on the server and read the XMLs, and as a result make the end result of using Flash a little more search-engine friendly?

They'll never see the XML because Flash is the interface for getting to the content that is in the XML.

Don't use Flash to deliver content. It's bad accessibility and bad for SEO.

thats not completel true true though, he could just include the urls of the xml files in a google sitemap and thereby get the content indexed. So I mean they would see it, just not on the same webpage as where they were originally intended.

I'm just nitpicking though, from a seo point of view it blows with flash, and the sitemap thing would just increase the sites relevence, not the individual page where the xml is being displayed via flash.
