Brian: If I may chip in my two cents worth I've had a great deal of success with flash by downloading the Macromedia Flash Player from http://macromedia.com to my home directory and just unpacking the files there. This will leave you with /home/myname/flash_linux folder, then the directory to be scanned for plugins in my case as /home/tom/flash_linux. Substitute the myname for whatever you've named your home directory of course. Works flawlessly for me.
