A little research:
1. "zypper info gnash" on openSUSE 11.2 yields the following
Repository: openSUSE-11.2-Oss
Name: gnash
Version: 0.8.5-2.3
Arch: x86_64
Vendor: openSUSE
Installed: No
Status: not installed
Installed Size: 9.4 MiB
Summary: Free Flash movie player
Description:
Gnash is a Free Flash movie player, which works either standalone, or
as a Firefox/Mozilla plugin.
Gnash supports the current Shockwave format, version 7. While all the
ActionScript classes exist, not all of the methods defined by the SWF
format documentation are implemented however, so not all flash movies
work 100% if they utilize any of the unimplemented methods. This is one
of the areas to work on to achieve full version 7 compliance.

2. The Gnash web site at http://www.gnu.org/software/gnash/ states:
"Gnash is based on GameSWF, and supports most SWF v7 features and some
SWF v8 and v9.
"Gnash is being actively developed at the moment. Therefore, although
many features work, not all movies play successfully. The latest beta
release of Gnash has was made at version 0.8.7 on Feb 14, 2010."
Keywords here are *some* SWF v8 and v8, and of course, "not all movies
play successfully." But it is, at least, an active project, so I'm
guessing it's a resource issue. Given all that, it seems silly for me
to document sites that don't play with Gnash. Are there developers on
this list who could contribute to Gnash in a more substantive way than
I can?
