I was always able to work flash in Ubuntu by the following:
(From most effective to least)

1: Remove any flash plugin and go to a website with flash with firefox. When
prompted for missing plugins, install from there.

2: sudo apt-get flashplugin-nonfree

3: Ubuntu Software Center / Add remove programs : Adobe Flash 10

The first method never failed me. Luckily.
The second one is most common and I kind of think its like the third.

Try installing epiphany browser.  If the video plays there, then create
a new firefox profile.

For playing flash videos I have found that swfdec is better than
gnash. See if that helps you.

Hi,

I use DownloadHelper firefox plugin, (but I do need flash installed) to
download the flash file and then Totem plays it just fine.  However you do
need flash installed, you just get DownloadHelper to start downloading it
and then you close the tab.  It does fix every performance/sound issue you
are likely to get with flash.

It *should* be possible to do the same with Gnash, but I haven't done it.
