Flame the webmaster to a crispy cinder (just kidding!!!) ;-).  This
may be a misfeature on the part of the site designer.  Can you see
Flash animations at the macromedia site?  If so, there's nothing you
can do but send a polite note to the webmaster.

Among my favorite sites that get this wrong - the US Navy.

Properly done sites offer you an alt way of handling the site AND the
ability to forge ahead with Flash if you think you know better.
