On a windows computer, you are sure that Internet Explorer AND the Flash 
plugin are installed, they are "standard media facilities in windows".
I dont remember exactly, but i believe that Internet Explorer is delivered 
with Flash plugin 4. You have to check that by your customers.

If you use altBrowser.dll from altuit, you can display a flash movie 
within a html page directly in Revolution. For me it works perfectly.

I use altBrowser to replace the player object and sometime even the field 
object (when i need a better typographical layout than with a field but i 
dont need interactivity with the content of the field).

You have nothing to install, just reference the dll in your stack and 
deliver the dll in the same folder as your stack.

Of course the interactivity must be programmed in the flash movie because 
there is no communication between the flash movie and your stack.
