Thanks.

The following links do not work properly:

http://www.snutter.no/app/viewMovie.action?id=21195

http://www.steinalder.no/flashsite.htm (some parts work, but not all)

http://www.metacafe.com/watch/1489813/truck_jamboree_plus_2008/

http://met.hia.no/

http://www.earthcam.com/usa/newyork/timessquare/ (a few cams work)



...and then my brower crashed, 2 thirds down the list (right below 
lokus.no if I recall correctly).  The browser kept crashing (because I 
insisted on restoring my old session containing some 60-90 tabs) until I 
uninstalled gnash mozilla plugin - then it started fine.



Among the working ones it seems that http://www.foodgarage.no/ is not 
using Flash - you might want to either drop that one or clarify what to 
actually look for.

http://www.lokus.no/ seems to be password-protected, and seems to only 
use flash at some math pages that I couldn't locate - might make sense 
to refer directly to the actual flash pages.


I have cc'ed this email to the main author of Gnash, in case it is 
helpful for improving Gnash to have some challenging sites still not 
working.

@Rob: if another email is more proper than your personal one, then I 
suggest telling that to gnash@packages.debian.org so the Debian 
maintainers (mainly Miriam Ruiz, I believe she is also subscribed here 
at the debian-edu list) can adjust its debian/copyright hintfile 
accordingly.


Kind regards,

 - Jonas
