Are you talking about integrating Gnash OpenGL rendering in your own
OpenGL window?

I think it would be easiest to integrate Gnash into an existing OpenGL
application using the AGG backend, which produces an image buffer which
can simply be blitted using glDrawPixels (for example) into your existing
OpenGL scene. You could of course use the Gnash OpenGL backend, which I
think would be a bit harder, but it might be worth it in your case for
performance reasons.  Either way, you'd be extending Gnash.
