Your first question:
Yes, search engines cannot read any content inside the flash video.

Your second question:
This all depends on the purpose of your website and your intended audience.
Basically any site which viewers will be given your website address on a business card, phone book, brochure, or other non-internet promotions, a flash website is sufficient.
An E-business website, anything that people are shopping on-line, or an internet forum etc... Any site where you expect to make use of random people who find your website unintentionally while surfing the web. This is when it's necessary to create an html based site.
As far as design goes, I usually prefer to use css, html for business sites and add flash headers, navigation, and in other parts of the site that will allow it to appear and behave like a regular full flash site, with the benefits of code.
well its not hard anymore actually cause now people put keytags for flash websites as a normal text in the code source which will not appear on the page but it appears on search engines.. a fast loading flash website is of course better than html even if its not fast loading its better either way and html is becoming old actually now the very most of awarded websites are made of fully flash.
hope that helps a bit
Ya, search engines can't read an entire flash website it would look sorta like this
<html>
<head></head>
<body><embed></embed> </body>
</html>
Not to say its bad to use flash, you will need to create a very good <title> tag and <description> tag and get yourself some backlinks.
Get into Ajax, it may just replace flash that's what the whole web 2.0 battle is all about.
As far as flash loading faster then html no way unless you don't compress your files. Same with flash if you don't compress then same results, oh yeah I don't have flash player issue that beginners don't understand.
I am sure the awards you are talking about is fwa awards.
It really depends on the purpose of your site. If you want your site ti serve as a reference to online users, you can use flash, since it will make browsing experience of the online user a great one.
But if your site serve as a business/product site, you must consider using html, because you want search engines to find your site. Flash is not that search engine friendly.

For ease of access, use HTML, for ease of design use Flash
