Hello,

>From what I understand from the lightspark website (1) and the wikipedia page 
>about lightspark (2),
- Gnash is both a free standalone flash player and flash plugin for 
Actionscript 1&2 
- Lightspark is also both a free standalone flash player and flash plugin but 
primarily for Actionscript 3. For Actionscript 1&2, it relies on Gnash.
- Lightspark, while older than Ruffle, is, right now, more advanced and your 
best bet albeit being not fully functional

In order to test it, I just downloaded the Lightspark Windows installer in a 
Windows 10 VM. The standalone client crashed when trying to play the swf sample 
file I passed as a parameter, complaining about OpenGL. To test it in Linux, it 
has to be built it from source
