Yes. A flash based site is likely to have lower SEO value because search engines can not read flash format and extract text content out of it, and the entire search engine model works on diggin into text, storing it and displaying it.
How to over come this problem
1) completly avoid 100% flash site. Keep very little flash content if at all, like the main banner, etc.
2) Use Java script for image slide show, etc instead of flash, today javascript has become very strong and can product amazing user experience like flash
3) ensure use of meta data, description, keywords, etc.
4) If the busines demands flash site then keep a generic home page with links to both HTML site and flash site and keep relevant conetent on the home page as well
