Does google count back links from Flash?

Question

Our Flash widget is quite popular on the web. There is a link to our web-site embedded inside the widget. Does Google count this link as a back link to the site?

Answer 1

It may, yes. While I don't know the details, they do index Flash files since 2 years or so.
