I tried opening http://vectorsdev.usc.edu/NYCsound/777b.html but it requires Flash, so nothing worked there :(

Chrome has a built in Flash player. You just have to enable flash for that site (click on the flash icon). It worked for me. FF however requires a separate download of the runtime.

I'm using Firefox and rather not touch Flash to begin with. Besides, all browsers are going to ditch it for good soon, due to Adobe declaring its EOL this year¹. So all such sites should really do something about it.
