Sure, that is easy use plain EMBED/OBJECT code without any detection, no

Load movie, no FSCommand or JavaScript: protocol calls, and Flash will

work fine even in IE Macs.

The only drawback is that users without the plugin will get the puzzle

piece or other no-plug-in icon.

In the design (or lack of design) of Mac IE browsers primarily.
