add these to your sources list
Code:
#flash
deb http://www.backports.org/debian etch-backports main contrib
deb ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian ../project/experimental main contrib non-free
then
Code:
apt-get update

also i just ran

Code:
apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
and i got this error message not sure if its linked to the last one

Code:
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies.
  flashplugin-nonfree: Depends: ia32-libs-gtk but it is not going to be installed
                       Depends: lib32z1 but it is not installable
                       Depends: nspluginwrapper (>= 0.9.91.4-3) but it is not going to be installed
E: Broken packages

To install the plugins :

Code:
apt-get install sun-java5-jre sun-java5-fonts sun-java5-plugin
update-java-alternatives --set java-1.5.0-sun
ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so

sorry last post was before i say your bit about java anyway new problem

Code:
Package sun-java5-jre is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package sun-java5-jre has no installation candidate

ok i seem to have found the issue or part of it regarding not being able to install the plugins long and short of it is that i need libasound2 1.0.13-2 but i have libasound2 1.0.19-1 and that seems to be where the problem is stemming from.
