Hi Luminal, A site I've been working on was effectively the same as yours... Mine was built in Flex with one swf and one index.html file.
It has a Viewstack which loads each 'page' (component) as the user navigates - similar to yours. The fact that yours are external swf's and mine are internal components makes no difference. SWFaddress is used for deep-linking to each 'page' - you would just use whatever function you call when the user clicks "photos" as the 'action' for the deep link 'trigger'. An html file is created for each 'page' which either loads the swf and uses the deep link to direct the user to the right 'page' in the swf or loads the alt html content. The way I've done it is simplistic and probably not ideal for a site that has frequent content changes. But you could easily change the alt html content from being hard coded in the files to being dynamically generated via php on load or you could build/update the html files automagically when you update the swf content (as in the BlitzAgency post). For instance this site stores all data in a db & uses amfphp to populate the store on load. I've built an AIR admin app for the owners to mange the store which would be an ideal place to do some magic for the alt html files and the sitemap.xml file... I'm still new to this so I'm not sure how effective my strategy will be for the engines (caches still not updated). But the reading I've done suggests that hard coding the html & updating as required is the way to go - though I'm happy to take advice from others more knowledgeable! The main site: http://hummingbirdbaby.com.au Some examples of deep-linking & alt content: http://hummingbirdbaby.com.au/AboutUs.html or https://hummingbirdbaby.com.au/ #/AboutUs http://hummingbirdbaby.com.au/ContactUs.html or https://hummingbirdbaby.com.au/ #/ContactUs http://hummingbirdbaby.com.au/Stockists.html or https://hummingbirdbaby.com.au/ #/Stockists View the html source to see what I mean - I've added a bit of extra javascript to do some redirects to https if the flash loads or http if not which may affect how the engines view my site... we'll see. cheers kev ..

I'll give an example: My site contains the main movie swf (INDEX.SWF) which is embedded in INDEX.HTML. when someone enters the site and clicks on lets say "photos" in the navigation menu, the main movie calls another swf into it (into a container), in this case PHOTOS.SWF. the bottom line is that my site contains only ONE html file for the index.swf and other swf's which are NOT embedded in an html. now, when I use swfobject to create an alternative content for my site, basicly I can only use it for the index.html... my problem is that the index.swf is only the site's "shield" - it does not contains any information... all the info is in the other swf's, which are not embedded in an html! I thought of creating an alternative content (in index.html) for the WHOLE site's swf's, but I am affraid to be blocked by google because the alternative content and the embedded swf (index.swf) are not the same. Is it realy like that or can i do it and it will be ok for google?
