How about just using plain old HTML with screenshots? Can't possibly get 
any more cross-platform than that. Plus maybe some form of short 
"quizzes" at the end of each section, to have a beginner test themselves 
if they've understood whatever was taught in the section. Of course with 
answers and explanations being shown afterwards.

Flash is nice and all, but not exactly accessible to some people (screen 
readers, etc).

Just thoughts. I may be wrong in some/most/all of those things I said.
