All of the text and links used in a swf are by default published as comments in an html page outputted by the Flash IDE. The reason is to show that data to Google and other search engines. All of those comments may be deleted without any adverse effects to the swf or viewed page. And Google now claims that it can 'read/index' the text inside swf's anyway. Also, many of us use Geoff's SWFObject js. to not only embed the swf more invisibly cross-browser, avoid the 'click to activate' in IE, and it gives the opportunity to place whatever alternative content you wish in a div that is much more search engine friendly and offers graceful degrading.
