Because Google unable to crawl over flash content.
If image we able to set alt to notice google what the image is all about but flash cant . That is why flash in your site will be blank as what google crawl your site.
Beside that flash will influence your site loading speed. That is why Flash site are not welcome for Google.

Yea, it is a known fact that Google doesn't really crawl flash media and hence it is advised that there is minimal flash content in any site, to make it more SEO friendly, which is not possible when flash is included.

Yes, flash website are not friendly to Google search engine because it had a issue of loading time as compare to HTML websites.

Flash sites has single pages which actually had in layers. Separate page content and images are loaded in frames and you can’t distinguish the images from each other or optimize them with alt tags. There are no Meta tags, sitemap or description supports in flash.

It is not necessary that all the flash websites are not Google friendly. Now Google has started indexing flash content as well. So when you implement flash, make sure it get indexed or can be crawled easily, You can use webmaster tool and see Google crawler would crawl your website. In most of the website, there would be certain part where you would integrate flash, if you have embedded content in HTML, no need to worry about animation added in flash at header.

Now Google can crawl and indexed content from flash files.

One Suggestion for you: - Don't build your full website in Flash. You can use content part in HTML.
It is good for search engine to crawl your content and index whole website.

Cheers :)
