[Gnash-dev] Playing Flash 9 SWFs using Gnash

[Ernest G. Ngaruiya]

Hello,

I tried to play some flash 9 apps from that I randomly collected from the 
web using gnash. Some just don't work at all but some basically autoloop 
through all the frames in the movieclip.

When I run gnash using the -va flag, I get the output below. The 
"executing x tags" message just keeps being printed infinitely as the 
movie autoloops. Anyone know why this is happening? Is there a way I can fix 
this code to stop this autolooping behavior? I'm not an AS3 developer but 
I have to make some existing application run using Gnash. I'm thinking
that I get this behavior possibly because some AS3 features are not 
implemented in Gnash... is there some workaround for these limitations?
