[Bug-gnash] [Bug 202391] Re: Cannot view AVM2 flash enabled pages

[Pete]

I would like to point out that here in the US the national weather service uses 
AVM2 format for the in motion RADAR images.
This is important to lots of us in the midwest during tornado season so we can 
watch the progress of a storm on the national wether service RADAR.  Please 
find a good fix for this.

  3) What is expected to happen is when one opens Firefox and goes to
  http://edition.cnn.com/video/ it plays the video.

  4) What happens instead is it does not. Notice if one secondary clicks
  the flash window -> click File -> Properties it states in Stage
  Properties Root VM Version AVM2 (unsupported)

  This is a known enhancement request upstream ->
