Search engines cannot read a "picture" or flash. They need text

Search engines can read pages in which there is flash content, but they can't read the actual flash files.

Yes, Search Engine bots do crawl the flash files.
I wil give you an example for this.
Follow the instructions below:
1) Type " Best viewed in IE 5.0 & above and 800 x 600 resolution. Copyright 2006, Eagle Press, Chennai " text into google's search box and checkout the result.
2) You will get some search results. Click on the first result i.e. http://www.eaglediaries.com/introduction.swf .
3) Check out the page it's an html page but there is no contains as such, but the contains are there in the flash movie. And the result is getting displayed due the contents within the flash movie. Try to match the text which you have searched and the text within the flash movie. Several questions will arise in your mind. You won't believe it.
I have mentioned below the URL for seach

Yeah, you're right. Sorry. I didn't know.
It is a flash file, since the extension is .swf.

This is only true if the Flash uses live text in most cases it doesn't so it can't read Flash.
