[Gnash-commit] [bug #40420] VPlayer.swf from the media9 LaTeX package is not supported

[Nachanon Vetjasit]

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #40420 (project gnash):

This is the key issue:
*19360:2] 109 UNIMPLEMENTED: This SWF file requires AVM2: there will be no
ActionScript interpretation*

Gnash does not support ActionScript 3 bytecode
that generally used in flash file these days.

Gnash only supports ActionScript 2 and ActionScript 1.

I'm trying not to sound unhelpful but,
solution as far as I know, is implementing
entire ActionScript 3 interpreter stack and its class library,
which is a big, very big task indeed.

I heard that this has been tried before, but the attempt
falled apart due to lack of developer time (and funds).

Current workaround is to use Lightspark (http://lightspark.github.io/),
which features ActionScript 3 (and only ActionScript 3) runtime.

Note: AVM stands for 'ActionScript Virtual Machine'
AVM1 (which Gnash have) is used for running ActionScript 1 and ActionScript
2.
AVM2 (which Gnash didn't have) is used for running ActionScript 3.
