Comment(by tomeu):

 So, the flash file seems to load, but interaction with it doesn't work.

 When I click on Music, Games, etc., I get this error from gnash:

 {{{
 3163] 15:00:14: get url: target=,
 url=http://pbskids.org/fromkids/games/index.html?campaign=fkag_gm
 (/fromkids/games/index.html?campaign=fkag_gm), method=0 (sendVars:0,
 loadTarget:0, loadVariable:0)
 3163] 15:00:14: SECURITY: Load from host pbskids.org granted (default).
 3163] 15:00:14: Launching URL... firefox -remote
 'openurl(http://pbskids.org/fromkids/games/index.html?campaign=fkag_gm)'
 sh: firefox: command not found
 }}}

 So it looks like gnash wants to open a popup by calling the firefox
 binary, which we don't ship.

 Would be interesting to install adobe's plugin and strace -p it so we see
 how it is launching a new browser window. Then we could open a ticket in
 upstream gnash about improving their support for popups so it works also
 in embedded xulrunner.
