These are good questions. I think it makes sense to have Flash emulate
the structure of HTML pages, because they are still the best form of
navigation we have.

I have never liked Flash for the reason you mention, namely that it's a
closed platform from a notoriously flaky company. Open standards, or de
facto open standards, are much better.

However, Google can read Flash/.swf files:

So insert header tags if you can work it into the project spec.
