In v3 bitmaps it is replaced by the "transparentValue" field. They are not compatible. BitmapDirectColorInfoType has the transparent color encoded as 8 bit RGB values, whereas transparentValue has it encoded according to the pixel format (565). Look at Bitmaps.h from the SDK to see the proper order of all the optional information in the various bitmap versions.
