When setting up a web site that contains Macromedia flash and html, how can I make the web site appear more visible to search engines. Besides using meta tags?

Besides, keywords, links, and the obvious....I heard having flash at the top of the page makes the page appear invisible, not as invible as having a flash intro.
My web sites containing flash does not come up as well when searched on a search engine.

From what I understand, your flash will neither help nor hurt your search engine ranking. A flash intro page, like you said, is a very bad thing to do if you want to rank well on search engines, but flash on a page will not have an end all result.
Having a good ranking on a search engine relies on a few different basic concepts (and a lot of very complicated ones), some of which are out of your hands. Below is an article that outlines a bunch of very good rules to help your site show up higher in the search results.

If you'd like to discuss this more please contact me or send me a link to your site so I could possibly give you some tips.

Having flash will only hurt you if that is ALL you have. You need to give the search engines something to "see". So if you can, add text to those pages that are primarly flash.
Also, be sure to optimize your site in other ways... meta tags do count, H1 tags, image tags, etc.
Most importantly, get links to your website from as many quality sites as you can.

Search engines ignore Flash. They want content. So if you want to be found by the SEs, you gotta create good content (not spammy content). SEs are getting smarter and smarter.
Choose one keyword (a keyword can be more than one actual word, like "changing cat food" is a "keyword").

Frontpage is dead, I use expression web now. personally i hate flash. i like websites to be to the point, no BS super special graphics or whatever. I'd rather just have a basic html page.
