Here’s a great article that explains how to breakdown your RIA for the search engines. Here’s the article in a nutshell:

1. Transform the XML with XSL for the search engines
2. Pass the URL via FlashVars to your Flex Application
3. Let your users enjoy a Rich Internet Application with search friendly data.

Check out the example Flex Directory, and be sure to check out the source code!

 An alternative to this is Faust: Flash Augmenting Standards, presented in this article by space150.

 It follows the basic progressive enhancement recipe (html, css, javascript), but builds on an extra layer for Flash. It’s a little bit of extra work, but creates a seamless experience for all users.
