(Or should I just poke around!) Actually, after a bit more poking.... gnash seems to be all there is (someone please correct me). All the other projects appear to have a common source.... and many of those devs are moving to gnash? gnash can be found at : http://www.gnu.org/software/gnash/ and there is a port: graphics/gnash I've installed the port.... yet got nothing useful out of it yet. The project's goal AFAIK is to produce a firefox flash plugin. Supposedly the port and plugin do work (to some extent) on FreeBSD....
