I admit I didn't test the app thoroughly, but I didn't expect that:

gnash-0.8.10/gui/gtk/gtk.cpp

openFile(GtkWidget *widget, gpointer /* user_data */)
{
#if 0
    // We'll need this when implementing file opening.
    GtkGui* gui = static_cast<GtkGui*>(user_data);
#endif

#if GTK_CHECK_VERSION(2,4,0)
    char* filename = gtk_file_chooser_get_filename (GTK_FILE_CHOOSER (widget));
#else
    GtkWidget* file_selector = gtk_widget_get_ancestor(widget,
                                 g_type_from_name("GtkFileSelection"));

    GtkFileSelection* filesel = GTK_FILE_SELECTION (file_selector);
    const char* filename = gtk_file_selection_get_filename (filesel);
#endif

    // FIXME: we want to do something like calling gtk_main_quit here, so
    // run() will return. If run() is then changed to return a pointer to the
    // next file to be played, then the Player class can play the next file,
    // unless run() returns NULL.
    log_error(_("Attempting to open file %s.\n"
               "NOTE: the file open functionality is not yet implemented!"),
               filename);

#if GTK_CHECK_VERSION(2,4,0)
    g_free(filename);
#endif
}

So, for now only opening files from command line works.
