How to install flash

Open a Terminal from the menu Applications → Accessories → Terminal and type:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree

sudo apt-get clean

give your user password when requested, you don't see nothing when you type it, then press enter.

If you have some trouble with sound you can also install the libflashsupport
then open a Terminal from the menu Applications → Accessories → Terminal and type:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libflashsupport

Due poor integration of proprietary flash with Linux you may want to install also the mozilla plugin Flashblock
to block flash into web pages to get better Firefox and general pc performance
you may install it using mozilla here: http://flashblock.mozdev.org/installation1.html

If this solves you problem, please mark as Solved. If not, please clarify your question.

Hope this helps
