Anyway, all I was trying to say is it looks like Nathan's problem is the click to activate thing - not a missing plugin. So using Flash wouldn't solve the problem - rather it's about how the media file is embeded.

Hmm, if an underlying question "Is the new 'click to activate' tooltip
in Microsoft Internet Explorer like the 'missing plugin' or 'update your
plugin' alerts browsers sometime show?", then I don't think so...
different issues. But I'm not sure I pulled the right question-mark out
