that version of gnash is very old, you get different results running 8.2 or a recent joyride: >> They tested Castle Wars: http://www.minijuegos.com/juegos/jugar.php?id=5552 loads, but doesn't work right (loops through some intro screens, animation is slow). (same behavior on my laptop running F9 + gnash) >> Freekick Fusion http://www.minijuegos.com/juegos/html/index.php?id=4570 website doesn't load correctly in Browse, complains 'the URL is not valid and cannot be loaded'. (on F9 it loads, plays an annoying soundclip saying I've won a nintendo Wii, and gets all the way to the instruction screen, but doesn't let me hit start) >> Hulk Central Smahdown http://www.minijuegos.com/juegos/jugar.php?id=6769 gets to main menu, doesn't do anything after that.
