Well, it looks like Flash is getting implemented in the new version of 
GStreamer (http://www.gstreamer.org), so for a viewer that will probably 
be the way to go.  I believe that they are using f4l, but I'm not sure.

The only authoring tool that I know of is Spalah (http://spalah.sf.net) 
which is still a little bit immature.

I would agree with the poster who recommended SVG, it is a format which 
is starting to gain a hold in web development.  If your cell phone 
supports graphical web browsing, there is a good chance it also supports 
SVG.  Of course, my favorite SVG drawing tool is Inkscape 
(http://www.inkscape.org)

If you're into programming Perl, there is a Perl module to create Flash, 
but I've not used it.

I've seen this used several places, note that it has licensing 
restrictions, but it looks cool for PHP.
