is it impossible to develop SEO value for a flash site?

Before Our company started building the website we researched for information like this and we decided, according to the information on the very same internet, that 100% flash designed websites are impossible to read by the search engines bots. Try a combination of flash and html to improve your SEO

google cant see flash or images. Text is a must.

If the site is complete flash, I would start over. If it isn't, it doesn't hurt the ranking, but doesn't help either.

I concur with the above statements.

Google spiders cannot read flash, yet...

I always cringe when I hear people making a flash website. Anyone who is new to websites seems to get sold on these because they are just that flashy. Bottom line is they suck for SEO.

To be honest I have never liked flash sites. They seem to be more about ego than usefulness.

If you don't want to start over I would suggest making part of the page flash and the other part content. This way you can still use the flash and get the benefits of SEO. Don't forget to make sure your pages have meta tags.

You must at least combine Flash and HTML. Google crawlers can't read texts in flash. Though, try spreading the URL (social bookmarking, blog commenting, or ask a blogger to create a link to your site).

How about just NOT creating a flash site? :)
