 This Flash movie uses embedded video. As the package of Gnash in build 406
 doesn't have the ffmpeg and the ffmpeg to Gstreame plugin (or configured
 for ffmpeg directly), it will never have working video. My own builds of
 Gnash with ffmpeg support play this fine. Ubuntu is planning on shipping
 the ffmpeg decoders, which is where the codecs are for Flash video. This
 would then also have to be done if you want Flash video to work "out of
 the box".
