Oops, forgot to mention how to install it. 1) Download the latest flash_linux.tar.gz from Macromedia. 2) tar xfvz flash_linux.tar.gz 3) Find /usr/lib/BROWSERNAME/plugins/ where BROWSERNAME is your browser. Netscape, Mozilla and Opera for Linux work this way. 4) Move the two flash files from the flash_linux directory that you unpacked into this plugin directory. Do not move the flash_linux directory, just the two files. Might need to completely restart your browser.
