WM3D

WM3D is a flash11 molecular viewer for various kinds of molecules/objects/plots. This viewer is based on Watermelon and a sample program written by Nicolas Cannasse. Molecules can be shown in spheres, sticks, tubes, and ribbons, and surfaces such as molecular orbital can be drawn.

Versions later than 0.5 can generate new flash (.swf) files from compiled ones. See the project webpage and wiki:wm3d/HowToUse/quick_tutorial for details.

VMD plugin script

WM3D is, honestly speaking, not a user-friendly program, especially for Windows users. A plugin for VMD is available, which works both on Windows and Linux.
