[BNM] Spidering flash - nofollow

[Ali]

Thanks Alex, not so sure - maybe as a last resort a robots file for just
this page could be created, it's a charity site that collects hundreds of
thousands of pounds and is pretty locked down with respect to global page
changes - tech team have rejected other global page changes due to them
being global...would be nice to assure them the links in the movie will not
attract crawling and no need to hack an exception for this page.

I just can seem to find information that lets us know either way!

Ali

Can you just put nofollow on the html page containing the flash?
