I think this may turn out to be one of those client demands that
are just not realistic (or may take more time and so, cost more money
than building a better solution from scratch). I take from your
description that they have an existing Flash-based interface they
want to 'graft' onto a desktop app. The dread of many good
developers ...
If you cannot have multiple instances of the flash animation/web-
app that greatly complicates matters as Ricky's suggestion is ruled
out (but otherwise would probably be the best way to go).
Perhaps if you give more details about your project, others can
suggest an approach you may not have known existed. As it appears
(with many assumptions necessarily made), any approach to solve this
as-is will likely be extremely clunky. Unless of course the flash
project can be modified be more modular ... :-)

Could each of the clips just contain the original embedded Flash,
but just clipped (i.e. set the size of the view as well as its
origin to only draw the appropriate rectangle). Now then, I have
not played around with Flash like this, so don't know what will
happen when you have multiple views all accessing the same
content. I would assume that you'd end up with n unique instances
of the content and thus it would then not be all synced together.
Correct; it has to be a single instance of Flash, or else the
little sub-pieces get all out of sync.
