I find that Flash works best with Opera if it is in ~/.mozilla/plugins (which I prefer anyway), but your mileage may vary. Also make sure you don't have multiple copies of libflashplayer.so in your plugin path.
You can install any of those through a slackbuild, just make shure you change the slackbuild's script. However, the slackbuild's working fine, so I see no need in downloadin official packages.
Also Make sure you install it after you've installed Seamonkey (from distro).
If that's what you wanted, then I might recommend doing a bit of searching next time, as the links above are extremely easy to find =\
If not, then sorry, I just didn't get the question=)))
But I don't know how can I get profit from SlackBuilds.org ?
I know Opera is a closed-source application, So how can I build it ?
Except you mean I just make a Slackware package (tgz) from binary official package.
Well, opera as a web browser is open source (you've actually just downloaded the source itself=) I think that opera mobile might be closed sourse. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Slackbuilds allow you to keep track of the packages you insatall\remove, and make it easier to remove packages installed this way. It's just easier. I would personally suggest using .tgz as often as possible. I think its better than installing straight from source.
What i suggested before, was that if your initial slackbuild doesn't work for some reason, you can download older opera package and then edit the build script to build from the new source=)

Opera is entirely closed source; it is however free as in beer.

SlackBuilds allow you to build packages that you can keep track of using pkgtools. Installing straight from source with ./configure && make && make install means your system quickly deteriorates with software you cannot track.

What you gain from SlackBuilds.org is access to large number of build scripts that are tested by people who are quite heavily involved in Slackware's development.

You don't build it, you repackage the binary files into a more Slackware-like structure, with programs going in places where traditional Slackware applications go, same with config files etc. Take a look at the comments in the OpenOffice.org SlackBuild at SlackBuilds.org and its README for more reasons why this is quite often done.
