Maybe here is clearer because gnash developer named NPAPI :)
	http://gnashdev.org/?q=node/77

BTW, konqueror-plugin-gnash (kparts plugin) is less maintained than
NPAPI one. IMHO fixing konqueror-nsplugins or NPAPI plugin in order to
get it working in konqueror may be easier than fixing
konqueror-plugin-gnash. I'm trying to figure out what should be done [1].

No problem. It's not completely broken. It should work at least as well
as NPAPI one and sometimes it doesn't.
We can play vimeo videos neither with konqueror-p-g nor with mozilla-p-g
[2]. At the moment NPAPI plugin can play almost all AVM1 animations. For
AVM2, you could try lightspark in experimental which falls back to gnash
for AVM1.

Good news. Since last email, another kde user made notice that you can
do that using webkit renderer [3] (install kparts-webkit).
And as said above, even konqueror-nsplugins would solve that.

Cheers,
