  http://www.gnashdev.org/wiki/index.php/Testcases is mostly a series of

conformance test suite, but it's big job, that isn't going to be
completed any time soon unless we gain more Gnash developers.

  There is work going on right now to add an option that disables the
Flash movie by default in the browser, but also lets you turn them on
with the mouse if you want one.

  Usually if it goes gray, Gnash crashed. Hopefully you'll have better
luck with a more stable build than 424.
