Thanks for your attention, Jose. I was pretty sure I'd tried that, (I
made what I thought was a good faith effort with Google before asking
here), but I tried it again anyway using the apt-get call you
suggested; no joy. I performed apt-get update, (three times, the
second time because apt-get suggested it and the third because the
second time it didn't get all the packages expected), then apt-get
upgrade, then tried a forced reinstall you gave me again; still no
joy.

BTW, when I did the forced reinstall, the package it installed was
adobe-flashplugin_11.2.202.236.orig.tar.gz in case that matters.

Thanks once again, Dimitris. In the Add-ons Manager, under extensions,
I see Flash-Aid 2.2.3 - "Remove conflicting Flash installations and
install the appropriate version according ot Ubuntu system
architecture."
Under Plug-ins, I see Shockwave Flash 11.2 r202 and Shockwave Flash
10.1 r999 Gnash 0.8.7 ...should there be two?

Gentlemen, one other thing occurs to me. IIRC, Adobe no longer
supports Linux. Is it possible that they planted a non-functional
player in the repositories? But if that were the case, I would have
expected many more complaints like mine.
