Adobe Philosopy.
under 10% not worse to do it.
In fact, does it work with Opera?
We are happy that it now works with Linux Wink

and how are using 64bit? If you go in a Shop and ask there for a new Computer with a 64bit Windows, they looking at you with the same stupid faces us if you ask for Linux.

See here <snips>:
Quote:
Gnash is capable of reading up to SWF v9 files and opcodes, but primarily supports SWF v7, with better SWF v8 and v9 support under heavy development. With the 0.8.2 release, Gnash includes initial parser support for SWF v8 and v9. Not all ActionScript 2 classes are implemented yet, but all of the most heavily used ones are. Many ActionScript 2 classes are partially implemented; there is support for all of the commonly used methods of each class.

Many of the popular video sharing sites use SWF v8 or v9, which Gnash still has imperfect support for. This is improving all the time, so often builds from a development snapshot will work when using the older release packaged in your distribution doesn't. You can find daily snapshots of the latest CVS tree at: http://www.gnashdev.org/dev_snapshots.

So basically, they need help developing to become fully supportive. hhmmm... wonder who could do that? Very Happy
Possibly... oh,,,, our bash scripter? Um,,, maybe a couple others?

Y'know, if Adobe would just not have gone the DRM route, they might be okay. I dunno. *shrug*
