I doubt it very much. The page is PR5, but it is also unreadable to search
engines, so your link will never be found.

Unless the link is just added without the flash at the bottom of the page.

I heard somewhere that Flash can somehow be crawled and links then ex-
tracted from it. I remain skeptical about this. I think it is the case
with DOC format as I once saved some files which contained links in
OpenOffice. Its links appear to be followed in some obscure fashion (to
reach error 404).

Flash (SWF) is a binary proprietary format, but then again DOC and PPT
(among other proprietary formats )seem to be crawled. This seem to get a
low priority when it comes to crawling cycles (they are CPU-intensive) and
ranking in the SERP. Many visitors frown upon bumping onto such formats,
which are often (as in the case with bloated PDF's) can be reduced to sim-
ple HTML. I believe that crawling such formats only discourages Open for-
mats and standards, but I don't want to get too philosophical about it...
imagine yourself a Web comprising excel spreadsheets and Word documents.
It's a good thing that Mosaic and Netscape got there first (the WWW)...

Firefox is now picking up some pieces...

Well it's actually true but it's more accurate to say some Flash can
be crawled and some links can be extracted from it. I don't know of
any precise way of determining exactly which links will be extracted
and crawled so basically as I understands it it's still useless for
SEO. I've actually played with a copy of the Macomedia developers' kit
but it was way above the big techie me.
