This bit doesn't sound very good...

Googlebot does not execute some types of JavaScript. So if your web page loads a Flash file via JavaScript, Google may not be aware of that Flash file, in which case it will not be indexed.

Most people these days use SWFObject or something similar to add SWF files to HTML pages. Also, what about text that is loaded into the SWF from external files? If Googlebot can only "see" embedded/static text in SWF files then this seems pretty pointless to me, especially if any SWF file added to a HTML page with JavaScript is ignored.
