What you want is a decent SVG plug-in with JavaScript support and animation
that actually works.  SVG is a W3C standard, so you don't need to either
expend effort duplicating Flash's SWF format or invent a new format and
convince people to use it.

KDE's upcoming 3.2 release is probably the first chance at getting such a
thing, because both Mozilla's SVG support and Adobe's SVG plugin (at least
on non-Windows platforms) seem to be dead.
