Are you really addressing a deficit in Gnash, or some hypothetical
situation?
Gnash is a *player*, a Free replacement for Adobe Flash *Player*. It
works pretty well as a player, but it is not supposed to be an
authoring tool.
There are certain Free Flash authoring tools, but to the best of my
knowledge there is no complete replacement for Adobe Flash, the
authoring tool.
