That is indeed the problem, sorry about that.
I'll report the bug to lightspark instead.

Yes, I would expect browser communication to be a problem when loading through lightspark.

That's strange. The problem for me is that "When I click on a country" it does not load another country-specific page.
As far as I can tell, gnash simply ignores my clicks.

I could try without loading gnash through lightspark, perhaps that's causing problems.

It's not clear what you mean by "fails to actually load a website". When I click on a country it loads another country-specific page. Some of the pages are fine because they use only HTML (e.g. Germany). Others, such as Mexico or the US, are written entirely in Flash. I don't know why nvidia hates America.

The flash-only sites are AVM2 so aren't supported by Gnash.

Can you let us know more precisely what the problem is?

Nvidias website (http://www.nvidia.com) has a little flash program that is used for choosing a local version of their site. Clicking on a country there fails to actually load a website. I can't recall ever having that issue with adobes flash player, so I assume this is a missing feature/bug.

I'm using Gentoo, lightspark 0.4.4, gnash 0.8.8, and /proc/cpuinfo says I have a Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz.

I tried searching for nvidia, and didn't find any bugs. It's quite possible there are other "click-related" bugs, that I'm not aware of.
