Yes, because gnash is an open-source (re)implementation of Flash Player, compatible with a large part of the Flash7 specification, so that you don't need Adobe's player to play Flash format multimedia files. Did you actually check out (i.e., visit _and_ read) the gnash website, if you're asking this? By the way, this has nothing to do with drivers; Flash is a data-container format, which requires a program (knowing the specification, which is sort-of-open, with the emphasis lying on "sort-of," not "open," for Flash) to interpret, not a device. The word "driver" is reserved for software providing access to the latter (at least in my vocabulary), or at least something happening in kernel-space. -- Heiko Wundram Product & Application Development
