no, you use the macromedia flash plugin from macromedia's site for your puter and not the server. you just embed the flash in the html page and if you don't have the plugin you'll need to download it to view it

correct. flash is downloaded from the webserver and "run" on the web browser

just like an applet. "client" not server technology

web server simply serves the file and the browser has to decide what to do with it hence the need for all these plugin in browsers.

However you used to need server side code to dynamically embed things in flash but since flash MX you can import XML without any server side code.... which is cool :)
