Actually there is a flash palyer for Linux currently available, just not the most up to date version. Flash Player 7 for Linux should play most Flash contents perfectly well.

flash 9 is out now in beta form google it

and flash 7 would be just fine if all the dumb web devs would publish in 7 seeing as to how almost anything you do in 8 can be published to work in 7

but either way beta 9 works great for me

I downloaded 9.0 and I can not get it to work. It looks like there are some files missing??? I have 7 installed and have three files in my Pluggin dir, libnullplugin.so, flashplayer.xpt and libflashplayer.so. With 9.0 I have one file libflashplayer.so and it cause firefox to be slow and act stupid. I tried to replace the 7. file with the 9.0 and it didn't work. Then I tried only having the 9.0 libflashplayer.so by itself and still the same goofiness with Firefox.
So whats the deal?

If by "perfectly well" you mean "poorly, with audio-video sync issues and always claiming top dog in Z-order" then you're correct.

I don't know what issues you've has with it, but I haven't experienced the same problems.

All the problems I've has have been down to poorly written sites, not the fault of the player.

I downloaded 9.0 . It looks like they improved many things. All the problems I've has have been down to poorly written sites, not the fault of the player.

Flash 9 has great speed improvements. It can actually play flash movies without jerkiness.

BTW, they just updated to Beta 2 (Nov 20) so make sure you have the latest beta.

Edit: confusing title revised.

I hope somebody looks at blender and improve on it. There is a plugin for web browser and a demo of a dynamically-responsive graphics. The plugin uses the game engine.

FOSS Developers can create an authoring suite ala Macromedia but based on blender libraries.

At least it will give Adobe competition to add the pressure of treating FOSS audience a fair deal.
