If you have any control over the content, Flash has several ways to
add a visible version of the text in the movie. I believe there's an
option when you generate the movie, and I know the AfterShock utility
will build both text and HTML links automatically.
There must be a way to get into the Flash movie because the Atomz.com
search engine can index them. I think they made a deal with
Macromedia for the file format though.
In the long run, I sure hope SVG wins over Flash -- it's a proper
XML-based markup language for generating movies and effects, but you
can read it without stress.
