	The last time I tried it (2-3 months ago) gnash was no
more funnctional than Flash 9.

	I have read - some place that made me give it credence - that
while Flash 10 /in se/ will not necessarily be more non-(Windows/
OS X) friendly, Actionscript (which as I understand it is the link
between the broswer and Flash) was being developed in
... consultation if not necessaeily cooperation ... with the open
source community and there was reasonable hope a formal spec might
made freely available.
	Mind you, this was a year (maybe more) ago.  I have no idea how
that turned out, or even if it was accurate yo begin with.
