Designing alternate content that non-flash browsers (lynx anybody?) and search engines can see if vital to any site design.

Thanks for informative post, I will definitely be passing this one along.

My personal feeling is that a large majority of web designers don't have the first clue about useability, SEO and SEM. Now that Adobe is addressing this major weakness with Flash, we can expect more Flash sites that make us want to leave immediately, even if the spiders will now stay longer.
