Hi Eric, I haven't used it, but apparently Gnash (GNU Flash movie player)[1] has multiple backends for rendering flash content. I quickly downloaded the source tarball and I see backends for OpenGL, Cairo and AGG in there. As Jeremy indicated, the Cairo context would likely be the way to go if you want results fast. Perhaps a customized backend for OSG would be most flexible. Apparently, also movies inside flash content can be played back using GStreamer or ffmpeg according to this thread [2].
