Gnash runs on Syllable!
,----[ Quote ]
| I finally managed to get Gnash (cvs download, though version 0.8 should work
| fine) running on Syllable 0.6.4. Since my new machine isn't frying the
| filesystem every 5 minutes, I was able to work for a little bit and get this
| running.

Syllable uses the Linux kernel. Google to add ads to YouTube videos, which
gnash/swfdec should handle fine (Flash 7).

Interview with Rob Savoye of Gnash, the GPL Flash project

| 6. What features does the current version of Gnash support?
|
| We support a large chunk of ActionScript2 classes, and Flash v7
| movies. There is some support for v8 starting to get added as it's
| not very difference from v7. Although streaming video currently works
| in CVS, it's not fully functional yet. I find that Gnash plays them
| ajority of web pages Flash ads (unfortunately), and many movies
| randomly grabbed from the net. Many of us are using Gnash as our
| only Flash player without much trouble.

Gnash [Open Source Flash] 0.8.0 release made
,----[ Quote ]
| Gnash supports the majority of Flash opcodes up to SWF version 7, and
| a wide sampling of ActionScript classes for SWF version 8.5. All the
| core ones are implemented, and many of the newer ones work, but may be
| missing some of their methods.

Ryan, Open Source, and Flash
,----[ Quote ]
| A few weeks back, I had dinner in Seattle with Ryan Stewart and Brian
| Zug. Over the course of several hours we covered a number of topics,
| including a crash course in open source software. Yesterday Ryan posted
| some of what he learned during our conversation, including his
| conclusions about whether or not open sourcing the Flash Player
| was a good idea.
