The "looping is annoying" thang comes up when the animation is just a 
graphic element on a page with no real purpose. If you are using it to 
demonstrate a point or to educate the viewer, then offering the ability 
to replay the animation is valid. The easiest way is to loop the 
playback. Having a clickable replay button requires a movie, either 
QuickTime or Flash.
