Thank you for that.
Many have a problem trying to get Flash to play in their
browser. Flash
worked for me in Firefox until the latest xorg upgrades, as
many have
also complained about. You are right, and I should know
better, that
I'm not looking for "drivers" but trying to find
out what would be
needed to create a reliable interface to Adobe's flash
player.
I'm aware of gnash but have heard it doesn't play all flash
files. This
may be not all the information to do so has been found yet
and, maybe,
as you stated, it would be better/easier to contribute to
the gnash
project instead.
