Extract after '#' in URL + Flash SEO

Question

Hi everyone,

I have a question regarding the hash (#) in the URL in our
Flash website. We created a website, full-flash, with a back-end in
coldfusion. We used SWF deeplinking so when somebody clicks on a
button the title and URL of the page changes.

Now we put some HTML content on the website that isn't
visible to users who have flash installed but I guess Google
doesn't search the Flash but the html-content instead. We would
like to optimise each seperate page with it's own unique
HTML-content, but to achieve that we need to get the data from the
current URL or page-title.

Example: 
http://www.website.com/#/products/shirts/
links directly to the correct page inside the flash-website, how
can I get the 'products/shirts/' part extracted from the URL to use
in coldfusion?
That way we could build unique content for the html-version
of the website which "normal" users don't see but Google does.

Any other tips regarding Flash + Coldfusion + SEO are highly
appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Kind regards,

Wouter

Is there any other way then? The thing is, we developed a Flash website and via SWFADRESS we create links who link directly to the correct page in Flash, now when these links get indexed by Google it will only see the HTML content on that page so we would have dozens of pages with the same HTML content. That's why we would like to generate the html content based on the page the user is currently on (f.e: http://www.website.com/#/products/product01/)

Any ideas?

Thanks.
