Gnash is a player for animated "movies" in the Macromedia Shockwave Flash
|
||
|
|
(.swf) format. It can be run as a graphical application, as a Web browser
|
||
|
|
plugin, or as a library used by other programs. It is not yet complete;
|
||
|
|
it does not correctly handle every .swf file.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Many of the Flash movies that I come across play fine in Gnash. Many
|
||
|
|
others do not. In particular, Flash movies that are used for browser
|
||
|
|
navigation may still have a few issues with some URLs left. Most
|
||
|
|
Flash based navigation of a web site should work.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Gnash supports the majority of Flash opcodes up to SWF version 7, and
|
||
|
|
a wide sampling of ActionScript classes for SWF version 7. All the core
|
||
|
|
ones are implemented, and many of the newer ones work, but may be missing
|
||
|
|
some of their methods. All unimplemented opcodes and ActionScript classes
|
||
|
|
and methods print a warning when using -v with gnash or gprocessor. Using
|
||
|
|
gprocessor -v is a quick way to see why a movie isn't playing correctly.
