BEIJING, July 3 (Xinhuanet) -- Adobe Systems Inc. released a customized version of its Flash Player software that helps users to search websites using Flash video format Wednesday.

    Adobe's new tools help search crawlers, the programs that find and index content for search engines, navigate dynamic Flash pages more easily.

    Although search crawlers can often index static text and links within basic Flash files, many Web pages associated with Flash video are dynamically generated as visitors are ready to view them. Search crawlers currently have a difficult time finding them.

    Google's crawlers, for instance, will be able to click buttons along the way and remember the information for the index.

    Google already is using the new tool and Yahoo Inc. plans to soon. Adobe plans to extend support to other search engines.

    Web designers don't need to change anything to accommodate the upgrade.
