There is a company (I forget the name), that built a content mgmt system around flash so you could build sites in flash and reap the benefits of SEO, btu they were in bed with the search engines and had I guess "the recipe and access to confidential information" just to make it work. Long story short, SEO is the way of the new "Marketing" initiative on the web, and if technology does no accomodate, well i'm sure they'll make it eventually as this can kill the usage of a technology for websites. Shopping carts are a prime example: you want all of your inventory available to be sniffed by the search engines.
I was just curious if Flex made this possible.

I'd be willing to bet that it's not a problem. The .swf file that is the compiled flex application is wrapped in an HTML wrapper. I *think* you're search engine stuff could be included in that wrapper, and you'd be fine. Does that sound right? Sounds right to me. :o)

I recall a nice application in the demo quite some time ago, so I would assume shopping carts are nice in Flex; however, I am curious how the information is relayed in the source. How SEO friendly is Flex in other words.

To an extent, yes--Flex is still not how every single web site/app on
the planet should be built. Like everything it has its strengths and
weaknesses. For apps in which you need to replicate desktop-like
functionality it's great. For apps that are more content-driven HTML
is a better fit.

This is one of the advantages of deploying Flex and Flash apps through
the Apollo runtime (which isn't available yet, but they talked it up
big time at MAX).
