Exactly. You have to launch vncserver first (better do it manually if
you're on a local LAN. It might be condidered as a security breach). It
tells you on which display tou're listening (usually YOUR_MACHINE:1.0)
and asks you for a password. You can specify a geometry option, too for
the resolution. I used 800x600 for gcompris.
Most Linux distros include vncserver in some package like Xvnc.
Then you launch vnc2vcf SOMETHINg.swf YOUR_MACHINE:1.0,and launch your
app (in this case gcompris). When you press F9, it starts/stops recordig
what you're doing into SOMETHING.swf. Then you just have to upload the
file on a site.
I wasn't a great fan of flash. But now it seems like it's going the way
of pdf: not really open, but playing more or less by the rules of
compatibility, ease of install on about any OS, possibility of
generation by Open Office presenter, etc...
