The "special design software" is Macromedia Flash.

Yes, it costs, but there is a 30-day free trial you can download to decide 
beforehand whether you like it or not.  Like all Macromedia products, the 
demo version is a full working version, just time limited.

According to their figures support for Flash is wider than support for 
Java.  I can believe this, although I doubt their 80% compatibility claim - 
I'd prefer to see a breakdown between Flash3 vs Flash 4 rather than just total!
