The Adobe announcement regarding searchable Flash [1] and related announements from Google are interesting in relation to TAG work on the Rule of Least Power [3], Deep Linking [4] and Web Application State management. It's my impression that the SWF indexers are not restricted to a static search for text strings in .SWF files, but that they actually execute at least some script dynamically and simulate some interactions with the application. Not sure about that though.
