Thank you for your help.

I have use flare to decompile the swf file to get the actionscript source code.

In gnash,
it fails here:

 frame 1 {
    movie = player.movie;
    movie.base_url = '/';
    movie.tracker_cls = logic.PlayerTracker;
    movie.setMovie(video_id, undefined, undefined, l, t);
    movie.playMovie();
    Stage.scaleMode = 'noScale';
    Stage.addListener(this);
    onResize = function () {
      player.resize(Stage.width, Stage.height);
    };

When it tries to execute the line 'movie.setMovie', it can't find the
method 'movie.setMovie'.

So I need to find out where is 'player.movie' defined.

So I use swfmill to find out what is 'player.movie'.

Here is the object for 131, but does this has a 'setMovie' method?
otherwise, what should gnash look for 'setMovie' method?
