If you've also installed gnash, uninstall it completely (purge). Having
both gnash & flash installed at the same time creates issues, so purge
one or the other. Sometime back my son did the same on his computer;
only after purging gnash did flash work properly.

Disclaimer: I never tested to see if purging flash and only using gnash
worked as I had to get the system back to him the same day. So try one
or the other, but not both.
