Flash & search engines

if i have a flash intro that refreshes on to the next page, i've sort of figured that that would mean the crawler will not go any further than the intro page. Is there any special tag i can add to help the cawler move on and navigate the rest of the site?
thanks,

to be honest, splash pages are a little on the passe' side. although they can be aesthetically pleasing, they more often than not provide little benefit to the end user, they offer no content to search engines, and they get annoying after the first visit to the site. actually, come to think of it, unless it's immediately taking my breath away, i 'skip intro' right away.

anyways, my point being, unless this page really makes your site (which is frightening if is the case), i'd just suggest you ditch it.

adding a site map'd probably help...google sitemaps as well.

hope that helps.

I suggest reading this article about flash optimization.

Flash Optimization
I hope this helps.

I think I have read that before but still you can't achieve too good SE results with Flash, unless your extremely good at optimizing Flash, although why not have a Flash and HTML site and let the user choose when he enters the URL.

Search engines can and do read flash files. Apparently if you open a swf in a text editor all the links are in plain text, search engines like google know this and use it.

Although nothing beats text links.
