I put a 1*1 swf within my html who will send the "id" each of my page to the main swf by a localConnection(). The other method also working is to send a vairable to your swf with the "id".

The Css text who is under my swf is still part of my global animation. Hope Google won't consider it like spam. Reply to : Aaron Ware —

Said person could potentially flag your site as spam. If your site fits within googles standard for spam then your site will be booted from your intended listing. This actually recently happened with BMW Germany. They had technically hidden text by styling divs with display:none and visibility:hidden. You are basically doing the same thing and giving the ability so put in spam to boost your rankings. Just something I have come across in recent times.

Will the transparent mode work when the plugin is not installed and the graphics aren't displaying?

In this DIV there is the homepage of my text only site. When users don't have the right flash plugin (or a spider or without javaScript ) they see or crawl the text only site. When having flash the DIV content get switched with the flash site .. Now the tricky part is when users enter the site with a deeplinked URL (found by google or a bookmark - www.site.nl/#id=1 or www.site.nl/?id=1) - and have the correct plugin - they get the SWF which opens the correct page .. Still in the process of building this but it looks promising..
