Masquerading XML pages as HTML and how Google sees this

[davestewart]

I want to use XSLT to generate HTML pages from XML files, then use mod_rewite to have them masquerade as static pages.

 

The reason I'm doing this is a Flash site I'm working on has all its data come from flat XML files, but as you probably know Flash is not indexable by search engines, so I want to create an HTML sub-site that is indexable, then use meta-refresh to take the user to the main Flash site.a

 

So I have a couple of questions:

 

1) Is this possible?

2) Is this a good idea - ie, will Google happily index the HTML pages, or will it ignore all my hard work?

 

Thanks for reading,

Cheers,

Dave
