I forgot to mention that the demo actually requires independent
installation of the video files (so that we could update the videos
independent of the player image).  These movies are available online,
but are zipped so they can't be watched in the browser.  The links are
below.  All are welcome to convert these into .ogg or compress them
for web viewing as well.  They are a cleaner source than the small and
potentially out-of-sync flash demo version.  Someone might also setup
a page which embeds these videos and auto-plays them, so that the
dynamic rendering which causes lag in the flash demo doesn't pose a
problem. (Loading still might. Perhaps a JS trigger could start them
in sync on a button press, or something.)

http://interdimensionmedia.com/scratch/MoMA/XO-1.mov.zip

They are approx. 50MB each, zipped.
