It's very simple

You just need to let your content of your site become more abundant

Search Engines see Flash the same as they see Images. For Images, Alt Image, provides the keywords for the search engine to index. With Flash, there is a similar field that allows you to put in descriptive keywords. With the growth of the iPhone and iPad market, Flash has become less useful for developers. Since Flash does not show in these devices, many professional sites are now using more universal designs.

Another important note about Flash. If you use flash to build your menus, this is very bad from a SEO point of view. Since Google isn't able to index each of the menu items, it doesn't see your menu or its link to deeper pages. In this case, a Site Map is extremely important (as it is for all SEO efforts).

Another issue with flash is are your links. If you develop many pages within your site with many links to other pages, Google will give you some credit for those "backlinks." In a flash site, first, it is hard to develop that underlying content in the first place, but if you do, Google will not crawl the links to discover new pages and credit your pages with backlinks.
