If you mean "gnash", it's still around. It's primarily a movie viewer,
however and not all opcodes, etc. are implemented. "dnf info gnash"
for details.

Note that command must be run as root. If you are a mortal user with a
"$" prompt, then do:

	sudo setsebool -P unconfined_mozilla_plugin_transition on
