Hi developers,

maybe its a strange questions but i have a little dilemma.

I have some flash-xml sites and Google is indexing the xml-files.
When a user is searching (Google) and the text is inside the xml-file, the result of the search sometimes will be http://domain.com/file.xml
So when the user clicks on it only the xml-file is shown in the browser.

Question:
Is there a way to link or redirect the xml-file automaticly to the index.html of the site?
Or is there another way to prevent this?

Thanks in advance for any help!!!

You may get some help here, although this is not a AS1/AS2-related issue and is likely best taken to a web design forum such as http://forums.adobe.com/community/design_development/webdesign

Or better yet you might try Google itself.  They do provide some direction for dealing with having things not indexed.
