Flash or Quicktime?

[Luis]

Hiya,

If the movies are short, what about re-implementing them as animated  
gif files?
They will play in any browser. Not sure how to step though them though,
although each frame can have it's own unique filename.

There's a free converter here: http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/235
And last I looked GraphicConverter could do the conversion too.

Cheers,

Luis.
