gameswf (pronounced “game swiff”) is an open source Public Domain library for parsing and rendering SWF movies, using 3D hardware APIs for rendering. It is designed to be used as a UI library for computer and console games.

Gnash is a project to build a SWF version 7 compliant flash player with high-quality imaging. The Gnash project is based on and forks the codebase of GameSWF – a public domain project to develop a free flash player.

Progress in developing Gnash, the free software Flash movie player, is happening fast, with the next release planned for April 2007 sometime.
