Search Engine Issues with JavaScript

[mrwizzer]

I'm researching optimization of Flash Websites and I came across this important snippet on Google's help pages:

"Googlebot does not execute some types of JavaScript. So if your web page loads a Flash file via JavaScript, Google may not be aware of that Flash file, in which case it will not be indexed."

Which leaves me to wonder if the AC_RunActiveContent.js file (needed to avoid the infamous IE issues) will leave my Flash sites out in the cold when it comes to being found by search engines, (Google in particular).

Does anyone have any insight on this issue?

Use a deployment system like swfobject 2. Within the alternate content for the flash applet I usually put a lot of the major textual content for the website. This offers a text only version for the users without flash or on mobile devices, google and friends also index the hell out of it.

Fo Sho! When you embed flash content on a html page using Dreamweaver CS4. It does all of the dirty work using the correct code for web standards and writes all of the necessary javascript for ya. the swfobject it's a must for search engines.

The downside of Dreamweaver CS4 it uses the same embed tag when I use the quicktime plugin. I have to write my own javascript and use the script from quicktime so everything would work. Still it's causing problems in Internet Explorer 7. Firefox RULES!

Is there any other web standard complaint editors that I can use? I want that writes better code for quicktime plugins.
