The newest version of Flash is 8. The most recent version available for
Linux is 7. According to Macromedia/Adobe, there will be a version 9
player for Linux shortly after 9 is released on other platforms. We'll
have to live with 7 for the intervening time; there will be no version 8
player for Linux.

The sites you are having problems with are most likely using version 8
of Flash. That's why you get the message about having an old version.
There's nothing you can do about it except be patient.
