Well there are quite a few variables there.. how big is the ad? One flash movie can be fifty times as big as another. Some flash movies are far smaller than gifs. Are they doing things in flash you can do in a gif that will make people more likely to click? How much are they paying for bandwidth? How much do they make per sale? Are they just trying to grab long term marketshare from rivals by forgoing profit? etc etc. The very fact that they are running would tend to answer your question though.
