Sometimes. I've managed to get things like Java applets to run if the entry point is an HTML file, because of DSpace's website-handling code. I'm not particularly sanguine about their continued functioning, however, I admit. Straight-up Flash apps/vids accessed directly from DSpace don't work, because DSpace has no reason to fetch files referenced from the Flash. It might be possible to mod the existing HTML-handling code to deal with this problem; we're looking at this in our upgrade to 1.5, but it may drop off our priority list.
