Update:  I just installed Stretch in QEMU-KVM in my "Knockabout" Mint 20
system and was able to install Gnash on it.  I did a bit of research into
Gnu Gnash, seeing that it may not be currently maintained.  I wonder if
that decision was made before Flash was going Extinct?

I don't consider this closed, because of the large number of Standalone
.swf files. But I have something to test and, may contact gnu.org about
Gnash.
