This is back again in 14.04. Gnash is not found by Dash. There is a
desktop file in /usr/share/applications. Copy of file is attached.
Running gnash-gtk-launcher (Exec parameter in desktop file) in Terminal
works OK.

Title:
Gnash menu launcher (/usr/share/applications/gnash.desktop file)
doesn't start any application, also gnash isn't asociated with SWF
mimetype
Status in GNU Flash movie player:
Triaged
Status in “gnash” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in “gnash” package in Baltix:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Binary package hint: gnash
Currently no programs opens if user press on Gnash menu launcher ("Gnash SWF
Viewer" in Applications->AudioVideo category, see
/usr/share/applications/gnash.desktop file).
This is because in gnash.desktop is a line "Exec=/usr/bin/gnash", but when
you run /usr/bin/gnash in terminal you see, that this command displays only
help if started without arguments.
Simply solution would be to create a one-line shell script, which
displays a file-selection dialog and starts gnash when user selects a
file:
/usr/bin/gnash `zenity --title="Select a Flash (.swf) file to display"
--file-selection`
Also there is missing a MimeType line in gnash.desktop - you should
add this line:
MimeType=application/x-shockwave-flash;
I'm attaching fixed gnash.desktop file (Lithuanian translation is
added as bonus ;) to this bugreport.
