As an interested new Fedora user, who would like to avoid proprietary software - is Gnash the way I should be looking? I've heard of another project, swfdec, but never been told which option is better supported/has more developer activity/tends to work best.<div>
<br></div><div>Flash usage for me is fairly limited, I only use flash for <a href="http://last.fm">last.fm</a>, youtube, and menus on websites. Unfortunately, it is a necessary evil due to my employment.</div><div><br></div>
<div>I've been attempting to go the Adobe route (due to seemingly not having an option) - but this is a pain on 64-bit Linux. Any input would be very much appreciated!</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div>David<br>

</div>Gnash has most Flash features up to SWF done, while above that it is<br>
spotty. In this case, running the SWF with gnash's verbose output gives:<br>
<br>
10666] 11:30:17: UNIMPLEMENTED: SWF9 is not fully supported, trying<br>
anyway but don't expect it to work<br>
<br>
for me.<br>
<br>
It is a very active project, and they are making significant progress.<br>
However, in the meantime, gnash can't handle this.<br>
