It any compatibility with the proprietary player is desired, then XML
is your best choice. Otherwise, I'd go with reading a simpler file. XML
is pretty simple though, but then again, I wrote the XML support for
Gnash. :-)

I was just explaining how the XML support in Gnash worked...

The settings in .gnashrc may change over time, it sounds like the
settings you are talking about are more of a platform configuration
thing. (ala XF86Config) I'm not totally opposed to adding a section in
the .gnashrc file, but it seems that for something that is so FB
specific, it should be it's own file and format.

Right, but the File I/O stuff is an extension. Sometimes Gnash gets
heat for
the entire concept of extending the Flash spec. I see this more as
making Gnash a better Flash better, with better support for the kinds of
things embedded developers need.

I'll see about adding some directory and file manipulation next time I
work on that extension. You may not need it, but I also added a MySQL
extension so you can talk directly to a database. Both of these had been
suggested to me many times.

If file = new FileIO(); fails, it's not installed. That's at least how
the testcases do it. Currently the list of extensions isn't exported
into the Gnash VM in a way it'd be accessible to a movie.
