Movement in pages

Group,

Excuse me if you have addressed this issue before now. Checkpoint
7.3 of the WAI guidelines states 'Until user agents allow users to
freeze moving content, avoid movement in pages.' This is a Priority
2 issue.

Can any one tell me about the exact implications of this guideline?
If movement is incorporated through Flash (where the guidelines for
the creation of accessible Flash have been followed) will this fall
foul of the guideline?

Does the word 'Avoid' in the Guideline more accurately mean 'Do not
use at all' or more flexibly 'Try not to use'.

Regards
Frank Gaine
