You can with JavaScript 1.2 (Nav >= 4  || Exploder >= 4 ) see the page
at the bottom of the message.

Macromedia actually developed an Applet that's supposed to play Flash 2
animations if no plug-in is available. When I heard last of it was still
in beta but since then they didn't send me any announcement so it might
be dead :(

There is also emblaze ( http://www.emblaze.com ) that offers streaming
audio and video without a plug-in and you don't need a server (though
the have trouble synchronizing the audio and video) the whole thing is
in java.
Unfortunately the tools to create the files is only available for Mac
and Windoze.

Just checked it in Nav 4.05 Linux with AWT 1.1.5, seems to work.
