Gnash can also be used on embedded systems.

If you stick with older SWF version compatibilities you keep
the door open for embedded mapping apps with a flash look&feel.

I've been working on such setup for years:

SIMM is free software and builds with Ming (also free software)
producing SWF versions which can be played with Gnash, and using

If you're interested in that tecnology drop me a note.
