Article: [senit] flash

On the HTML side of things you could knock something from scratch with 
the help of jquery <http://jquery.com> or prototype but it sounds like a 
lightbox-like library would be up your street.
Stick two images on a page with your flash options (with the correct 
lightbox code) and then when the user clicks on the image you can set it 
to open each flash file (set each flash file in a seperate HTML document)
My favourite implementation is thickbox which runs off jquery. The site 
with demo's and code is available here: http://jquery.com/demo/thickbox/
Use the iframe functionality: http://jquery.com/demo/thickbox/#sectione-1
Not quite sure how you could get it to autoclose the thickbox window 
after playing - should be doable with some actionscript mind you!

All the best!
