Hi Rajat

To my knowledge it should work if you have the flash player successfully 
installed. It's probably not the same for you but when a flash enabled site 
doesn't work for me it's because I forgot to let it through via the no-script 
plugin which is installed on my system. My guess is you don't have that 
installed and my not have the flash player installed yet either
