I can confirm the problem with 
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.4a) Gecko/20030401
All other FLAS (scriptable, too) works fine on my mozilla.

In the left one of the 3 columns there is (below 2 gif-pictures) a white area,
where IE6 shows a flash animation. With Mozilla, on a rightclick into the area I
get the normal information "about macromedia flash ...", but no animated picture.

It seems that mozilla is able to play flash movies but not able to display flash
elements in <object>

I think in the new versions the support of wrong inclusion of flash files was
removed. The flash animations of many pages are not displayed any more.
Please tell the author to include flash like described here:

and then try again.
