I'm not an expert, but I'm not sure the Flash object method makes a Flash animated site searchable. I believe what it does is make the first frame of your animation visible on sites that don't have Flash enabled.
However, you should be aware that while keywords will be useful for searches powered by the Yahoo and Live (MS) engines, Google (just like Voice123 at the moment) completely ignores keywords.
UPDATE: I just did a little Googling and there is a bit of hocus pocus that webmasters can do to get a Flash-only page to be properly searchable -- as well as to make it conform with the European Union's accessibility standards, which apparently Flash pages do not. Anyone who's interested can read about it here:
