I checked out the flash at the University of Utah site, and I must say

it is impressive for gnash. Looks like that swf was made with Flash 7,

or at least that's its minimum requirement. Unfortunately, gnash has a

while to go, as it will never be in a satisfactory state until - it

loads YouTube videos. Yes, ridiculous, but true, since I'm sure that is

one of the many flash sites that people want to load. :(
