No, you wouldn't need to... the use of the "filetype:" term in my search
query just meant that you wouldn't see all the other web content in your
results. It's not required to access SWFs.
The example proves that Google knows about and databases the text within
a SWF. Gaining visibility within any search (ie, being in the first page
of results) still requires the normal search-optimization techniques of
good TITLE and metadata info, excellent inbound links from authoritative
sources, use of search terms that you have a realistic hope of achieving
good placement on (eg, "flowers" is hosed, but "san francisco corsages"
might be attainable, etc).
Recap: Google knows the text in your SWFs.
(I didn't follow the parts you wrote about redirection... you may have
another way to complicate search processes that way.)
