In fact, when you run a Flash 9 SWF with gnash in verbose mode, it warns you that Flash 9 isn't fully supported. If it barely supports Flash 9, what makes you think you'll have any better luck with Flash 10.1?

I think a more ambitious project would be to port Lightspark to maemo. Apparently it has an ARM port by the Ubuntu folks (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/natty/+...0.4.6-0ubuntu1). It supports AS 3, and will fallback on gnash for AS 1 and 2 code.
dunno.. as3 is just flash 9, plus lightspark doesn't have any hardware acceleration via mplayer's ffmpeg like gnash..

if you previously tried to compile gnash on maemo and therefore have a dev environment, maybe you could join forces with the person above to see if you can get a hardware accelerated gnash going on the n900..

edit: i meant to say : 'maybe you could join forces with the person above to see if you can get a hardware accelerated gnash going on the n900.. pretty please'
