Flash Website Design
Flash website design suffers from the same problems as frame sites. There is simply not enough for the search engine to crawl. If your site uses a total flash website design, you have problems - as far as the search engines are concerned.
The vast majority of search engines have problems following the links in flash objects. Few search engines have the ability to follow flash embedded links in a flash website design.
Typical flash design
Below is the source code of your typical flash website design.
<html>
<head>
<title>Flash home page</title>
</HEAD>
<body>
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AB6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab..." width="100%" height="100%">
<param name=movie value="flash.swf">
<param name=quality value=high>
<param name="SCALE"value="exactfit">

</object>
</body>
</html>
Do not have your entire page as Flash
Flash should only be used to enhance a website and not be the website.
The flash object does not harm your website's ranking as long as you have optimized html coding and text around it.
One big Flash object, as in the above source code, is dooming your website to search engine result.
