Arrrrgh! :-)

I take it back!!

It turns out the game has an extra key you have to guess for. You do  
not just use the cursor keys to walk about and collect the correct  
correct answers, once you pick it up an answer you have to press  
return/enter to accept it! Aaaaarrrggh!!!

OK so now I'm progressing levels with Flash 10.0 r22, and failing to  
progress on Gnash.

Many apologies for muddying the water (but this game needs to clearly  
indicate you have to "press return to eat").

FWIW: This swf currently holds a bunch of audio/mpeg mp3 files that  
are all erroring out in GNASH due to it being non-free codec that  
would need separate install. For anyone with a current Flash IDE this  
should be a 30sec fix to change the audio publish format to something  
supported.

I doubt the audio issue is preventing the levels from progressing, but  
there is a big fanfare at the end of each level as you exit the door.

Apologies again,
