I think they are referring to the ActionScript code [0] to construct the player (or whatever else.) It is usually not free which means that you're still running non-free software in the end, even if you're using a free software player like Gnash to interpret it and just "watching the video." It seems to be a similar problem to the JavaScript Trap [1]. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ActionScript [1] https://gnu.org/philosophy/javascript-trap.html
