With regards to these "secrets," they already have their file format
documented, it's just that you aren't allowed to use the documentation
to make a flash player (they no doubt want to keep control over new
developments in the file format).
My god. And how are they supposed to enforce that?
If this documentation is publicly available (link?), and I happen to
read it and code a flash player, what am I infringing? Not copyright,
AFAIK. What am I infringing? Documentation EULA? Oh, ok, I won't use
your documentation *anymore*, thanks.
The Gnash folks how do comply with it?

level of control Adobe keeps over flash does attract a lot of hate

Yes, too bad it's practically necessary for a decent internet experience
these days. :(
P.S.: Please stop using $ everywhere, that's only rumoured to be cool.
I agree.
