As far as I know it's not open sourced (althought it should darn well be). I
have no idea what Adobe's intentions are but I do think that contacting them

Flash is so widely used these days that it should be a requirement that we
have some sort of solution in place. There is this,
http://www.haikuware.com/bounties/flash-port-bounty, bounty in place at
Haikuware to port Gnash or swfdec to Haiku. There`s no takers yet but
hopefully someone will pick it up eventually.
