I read the FAQ and see that flash isn't supported.

Well, flash is
- proprietary format
- binary format
The first point is not so important for crawling, but the
second is. Parsing a binary format, AND modifying it to fit
the local copy is just a nightmare to do. I don't think
flash parsing will be implemented soon, and I even don't
know is this will be done in the future. W3C has
standardized a much more compatible and pretty vector
format, SVG, not yet able to implement media (sound,
interaction) things, but wait and see..
