Yeah, I had a look at Gnash and installed through Synaptic but as Terence says this only plays Flash and since Adobe already provide a Flash player plug in for Linux I guess it's only use would be in playing stand alone Flash files. If you load a web page with a Flash component it plays just fine (if you have the plugin) but if you do the same with a page with a Director component you just get unknown plug in (application x-director). <div>On 29/08/2007, Tony Travis <<a href="mailto:ajt@rri.sari.ac.uk">ajt@rri.sari.ac.uk</a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> Terence Simpson wrote: > Tony Travis wrote: >> Matthew Larsen wrote: >> >>> Man, where the heck am I living... >>> >> It's not perfect, but it does exist: >> >>      <a href="http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/gnash">http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/gnash</a> >>[...] > That's flash, not shockwave. Hello, Terence. It's a bit confusing because Gnash impliments:         MIME Type application/x-shockwave-flash Shockwave Flash Seems Adobe created Shockwave Flash, and 'Shockwave' for the purpose of 'confusion' marketing and, in my case at least, they succeeded ;-)         Tony. -- Dr. A.J.Travis,                     |  mailto:<a href="mailto:ajt@rri.sari.ac.uk">ajt@rri.sari.ac.uk</a> Rowett Research Institute,          |    <a href="http://www.rri.sari.ac.uk/~ajt"> http://www.rri.sari.ac.uk/~ajt</a> Greenburn Road, Bucksburn,          |   phone:+44 (0)1224 712751 Aberdeen AB21 9SB, Scotland, UK.    |     fax:+44 (0)1224 716687 -- <a href="mailto:ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com"> ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com</a> <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk</a> <a href="https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/">https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/ </a> </blockquote></div>
