Flash tests

[John Watlington]

I just checked Flash10 with 8.2-765.

The results are the same as with earlier versions of Flash:
Did this really have to be sent to olpc-sur without a cursory
check first ?

Castle Wars is doesn't function correctly, and is unplayable.

The video in "Hulk Central Smashdown" shows only two
frames, and the game is unplayable due to slowness in
rendering.

Bummer,
wad
