Indeed it's been removed. gnash doesn't support AVM2 clips and there are 
no plans about working on that.
Right click on the movie - File - Properties - Stage Properties - Root 
VM Version. If Root VM Version is AVM1, movie is supposed to be 
supported by gnash, if it doesn't play it correctly, file a gnash bug 
like this one or even better upstream [0]. If Root VM Version is "AVM2 
(unsupported)", as it says movie is unsupported.

lightspark is an AVM2 flash player which falls back to gnash if movie is 
AVM1. You should file a lightspark bug.

And/or making browser-plugin-gnash suggest (Suggests:) lightspark.
