Hello,

In order to try to get a system running totally free software, I tried out the GNU "gnash" flash player, instead of the Adobe flash player.

http://lwn.net/Articles/378073/

My other motivation is that I want to run the 64-bit version of Linux, and running Skritter under gnash would avoid the horrible hacks necessary to get the 32-bit Adobe flash player to work under 64-bit Linux.

While I can log in and see my statistics with gnash, the character entry area of the Skritter practice page fails to display.

Any debug information I can give you that would help Skritter work under gnash? Alternatively, what information can I give the gnash people so gnash supports Skritter?

I'm also strongly of the opinion that Skritter should work with Lynx on my 486.

I can't find a good list of features Gnash is behind on, but judging from its report of being compatible with Flash 7 SWFs, with some features from 8 and 9, and us requiring Flash 10, I think it's not going to happen any time soon, unfortunately.

You could try the alpha of 64-bit Flash 10 for Linux:

I don't know anything about it or how well it will work, but at least it should be easier to install.

Read the linked article--none of the Gnash team have ever used Flash Player! (So that they can legally work on reimplementing it.) That's amazing.

Thanks Nick.

For whatever it's worth, the stable version of Flash 10 was released for 64-bit Linux a while ago.

If you want the 10.1 beta, you still need to wrap it, but 10.0 works well enough (which, under Linux, is pretty bad. But still.)

tried swfdec yet?

nvm, just tried it, doesnt work. too bad.
