[Gnash-dev] http://www.tetrical.com doesn't play

[John Gilmore]

It's an interesting looking 3d version of Tetris, written in Flash.
The flash file is called http://www.vmix.com//flash/playerProductInstall.swf
It puts up a nice message when it fails, though:

  "Express Install is not supported by this version of the Flash Player.
   To upgrade, please visit:Flash Player Download Center."

The properties window shows it as needing SWF6.  It's not clear what
"Express Install" is or why the game needs it.

PS:  His blog refers to Josh Tynjala's blog at www.zeuslabs.us; Josh works
at Yahoo's "Flash Platform team" at http://developer.yahoo.com/flash/.  None
of these sites have any mentions of gnash at all, despite their open source
orientation (they build flash components and libraries and toolkits and such,
all BSD licensed).  It's as if they never even noticed gnash.  No wonder 
much of their stuff doesn't run on it yet; they never knew to try.
