Search robots will not look at the Flash movie to determine content. So 

whatever you wish them to go by must be placed in META tags or in text on 

the HTML page. There is lots of information on the Web about how to get 

high search engine rankings; you should be able to find it easily in a 

search. One site to start with is http://deadlock.com/promote/.
