GNU Gnash

Gnash is a GNU Flash movie player. Till now it has been possible to play flash movies with proprietary software. While there are a few free flash players, none supports anything higher than SWF v4 at best. Gnash is based on GameSWF, and supports many SWF v7 features.

Features:

Runs as a standalone application - Gnash can run standalone to play flash movies.
Firefox plugin - Gnash can also run as a plugin from within Firefox.
SWF v7 compliant - Gnash can play many current flash movies.
XML Message server - Gnash also supports an XML based message system as is documented in the Flash Format specification.
High Quality Output - Gnash uses OpenGL for rendering the graphics.
