but I do know that you have to download and install the Flash plug-in to get any flash stuff to work. That is up to the user to do, not the operating systems.

You could put a link underneath it saying something like "Can't see the above animation? Get the Flash plug-in here: Flash player

That way it's up to the user whether or not they want to install the plug-in.

I notice that at the macromedia's website you can embed the player into the webpage but I'm not sure whether it will work in here. I don't know enough about it.

Has anyone else got any thoughts on this to help Kallistos?
