  Since we're both GPL'd, you're welcome to steal the scriptable support
I added to the plugin. :-) It's pretty simple to add, even if it looks
like a lot of new code. On the VM side, it's not as simple...

  Somebody (my guess it'll have to be me) needs to make the Gnash plugin
fallback to Lightspark to make this really useful for us. I'll see about
adding something to the web page on this, but it sure would be nice if I
didn't have to do all of our web site maintainance.
