Flash requires a plug-in. Flash is not natively embedded into web browsers.

A website shouldn't be Flash-based and if it is, then accessible content
should be created for those who don't want/don't need/don't like/don't
use/don't support Flash. A Flash-based website should be functional and
accessible even if/when Flash support is disabled/turn off/inexistent.
A site navigation should never be Flash-based. Studies and usability
gurus (Nielsen, Flanders) all converge on this.
