There wouldn't be much useful text to index in a flash game anyway, so I'm not sure why you'd want it on a search engine. You could write a description of it and put it on the page the game's on.

Also, a search engine wouldn't index a plain-text file unless you linked to it from one your pages...
I'm not sure what the point of doing that would be since the file contains data that a visitor wouldn't need or understand, and they'd be linked to it from a search engine instead of to the actual game when it shows up in a search...

I'm pretty sure Flash can do HTTP requests in general.
