i recently tried a new flash plugin that was completely OSS, that had
declared itself beta.  unfortunately the name of it escapes me at the
moment.  i couldn't get it working quite right but i didn't put a lot
of time into it either.  from around the net the consensus was it
looked very promising as an Adobe replacement.
