I love flash!
Sure it's got some issues but with adobe taking care of it now it will only get better.
As to iphones not displaying flash, it's not adobe's fault, it apple trying to swim by it's own...negotiations are now on the way anyway to include flashlite player into iphine

I have heard that google has improved how it can index flash sites, however the generally opinion within the SEO world is avoid flash, it's good for elements of the site as it can look impressive, but ultimatley most people want sites to produce results, so I'd try to use HTML.
