Interesting that that directory (/usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin) worked. Are you using 64 bit system? Mine system is 32 bit. Maybe that's why.
 
The package from the adobe website was named adobe-flashplugin and appears as such in Synaptic package list after you install it. You can uninstall it with Synaptic package manager. The non-free one is flashplugin-nonfree - in my current package list, it is "flashplugin-nonfree 10.0.1.218+really9.0.260.0ubuntu1" and that one did not work - identifies as ver 9 r 260, and Hulu now wants 10.0.22 or better, their FAQ says.

Anyway, glad it is working for you now.
