I know.  That's what the email is about.  Adding the ability to open 
quicktime files that contain flash files.  Should be fairly easy via 
libqucktime, no?  Or alternately, providing a library that mplayer could 
use to play the swf animations, which it currently can't.

I did.  The mplayer team suggested adding the capability to gnash.
