[Bug-gnash] [Bug 202391] Re: Cannot view AVM2 flash enabled pages

[Xavier Guillot]

If I understand well, GNU Gnash is now focused only on format Flash 8
and before (ActionScript 1.0 & 2.0, with environment AVM1) and won't
support AVM2, as Lightspark implements format Flash 9 and later
(ActionScript 3.0, with environment AVM2).

So for that you will need ro install also Lightspark :
http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/lightspark

Normally, each one should include a fallback to the other when it reads
a video needing the other environment.

  3) What is expected to happen is when one opens Firefox and goes to
  http://edition.cnn.com/video/ it plays the video.

  4) What happens instead is it does not. Notice if one secondary clicks
  the flash window -> click File -> Properties it states in Stage
  Properties Root VM Version AVM2 (unsupported)

  This is a known enhancement request upstream ->
