Description : free Flash movie player
Gnash is a Free Flash movie player, which works either standalone, or as a
Firefox/Mozilla plugin. Currently Gnash only has working support for the
standalone Flash movie player. Development of the plugin is under heavy
development at this time.
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.
Included in the Gnash is an XML based messaging system, as specified in
the Flash specification. This lets a flash movie communicate over a TCP/IP
socket, and parse the incoming XML message. This lets a movie be a remote
control for other devices or applications.
