Agreed, the Gnash widget is for running existing content on Sugar.
Flash movies in .fla format such as IFL's cannot be modified in Sugar
nor anywhere unless you pay lots of money or use pirated software.

Exists the possibility of developing new Flash content with free
tools, but that will be much harder than just using python or Karma.
