The crawlers are not necessarly blocked when you do it right. But I would vote against all of the above....

Thank you for your help!
When i say flash i am not referring to the entire page, i mean just a flash banner or some pictures that change etc...is that a bit more forgiving to the search engines???
I forgot to ask..."menus"
1. do they hurt SEO results, AND
2. When i have a menu that has an option with a SUB menu, are those pages viewable to the search engine?
Thank you very much and thanks for that tool

As long as the links in the menu are "real" links rather than just javascript ones then you should be fine.
I use lists for all my menus including ones with submenus and then style them with CSS.
Having a Flash banner or images is no problem and won't affect your Search Engine rankings either way.
Just ensure that you use heading tags properly - i.e. use one H1 tag on a page for your main and most important heading, then use H2, H3 etc in decreasing rank of importance. Again, you can style them how you like using CSS. Search engines LOVE H1 tags so make sure it counts!
