Don't know what are you talking about. Firefox can display flash when correct plugin is installed. And standalone flash players work under linux with Wine.

Flash is much more compact than streaming videos. Videos aren't interactive, and they don't scale well.
If it's not flash, then it should be *.svg or java applets, and both of them aren't real flash rivals yet. *.svg isn't wide-spread enough, isn't well-supported, and although writing interactive *.svg pieces of page should be possible, you will have to combine *.svg with javascripts, so you won't able to upload everything as single file.
And Java applets are way to complex for non-programmers.
