They are in the first entry. Personally I don't mind the second one being displayed as it is, however I doubt the use of linking directly to SWF files. I mean, a lot of SWF files require input (e.g. flashvars, JavaScript communication) with their hosting HTML page. Also there is no correct sizing (original width and height). A SWF file is simply often not used like a more static pice of plugin content like a PDF file. > I've been watching this > cycle for months and unless something has changed since my research > was published, in a few days you can expect to see only the Flash file > indexed. > > IEhttp://www.google.com/search?q=deep+impact+amy+walsh&pws=0&hl=en&num=10 Yeah, that's bad.

No, not at all. Why show this to e.g. an iPhone user if he even can't open the search result? > They were indexed as one (X)HTML prior to Google's support for > SWFObject being introduced but since then only the Flash and or both > have been indexed in SERPs but never the parent URL alone. > > As for the example, I've seen this in a number of other cases and > sites with alternative (X)HTML as well but for obvious reasons can't > publish those examples.

That would be a bad direction indeed. Maybe work in progress.
