• Actually a number of the issues mentioned in previous comments get to the heart of the real problem being solved. If all one had to do was to use "open standards" like XHTML and ECMAScript as citizencontact proposes, then there wouldn't be the issue brought up by extrasupermario and others which is: How can Google and Yahoo even figure out how to load the SWF when there's all of this JavaScript code used to do so?
  
  The real issue is that a lot of today's web, whether XHTML/SVG and JavaScript (i.e. AJAX) or Flash can't be analyzed simply by looking at the code -- you have to run it. This is what Adobe is allowing Google and Yahoo to do more effectively for Flash based code. They undoubtedly are also having to do something similar for complex JavaScript powered HTML too, which is how they'll figure out what the SWF is, regardless of the technique used.
